[MELBOURNE]. Report Upon the Various Plans for the Improvement of the Port of Melbourne.
Melbourne, Govt Printer 1855. foolscap folio, stitched as issued; 10pp, large folding plan. ¶ Pasley and Amsinck, the Colonial Engineer, report on four schemes to improve the undeveloped port now deluged by fleets of ships drawn by the goldrush. The most ambitious is F.C. Christy's canal and dockyards but more favourably treated (though Pasley regarded it, like the others, as too ambitious) is Amsinck's own scheme with incorporated defences.
