Walsh Bay is the historic docks zone around the western headland of Sydney Cove where British colonists anchored their First Fleet and founded the Port Jackson convict settlement in 1788.
The bay was first named in 1918 on drawings of a major new ‘wharfage scheme’ to modernise all Sydney’s docks to handle steamships and motor vehicles. The project was planned by Henry Deane Walsh—the engineer-in-chief of the Sydney Harbour Trust. Since the early 1980s, Walsh Bay has been rejuvenated into new cultural, commercial and residential premises.
