This was achieved through improved techniques and judicious leasing of patent slips and dry docks. The most successful side of Cuthbert's business was the surveying, overhauling, repairing and refitting of commercial vessels as well as naval ships of the Australian and Flying squadrons and foreign naval vessels, on well over 900 occasions. By the 1860s there were a number of ship and boat building yards in Sydney, including that of John Cuthbert at Millers Point, the most extensive in the harbour and considered to be the only one of any consequence in Sydney. "Shipwright John Cuthbert (1815-1874), born in Cork, arrived in Sydney in 1834, setting up his first shipyard on a slip of land in Darling Harbour in 1853, at a time when local, inter-colonial and international shipping was developing rapidly. : Roger Hobbs, 2016ġ volume (various pagings) : illustrations (some colour), maps, facsimiles, photographs 30 cm
