HARBOUR FACILITIES
Sir, —May I be permitted to contradict the assertion under the heading of "The Waterfront" in yesterday's Post, viz. : "At Adelaide, the big boats lie off Glenelg." "Lying off" implies absence of wharfing accommodation, but the wharves at the Outer Harbour will take . comfortably the largest boats that visit Australia. The P and 0., Orient, White Star, and N.D.L. boats, amongst others, have for many years berthed at the Outer Harbour ; the iutei'-State boats go to the wharves at Port Adelaide. Possibly your reporter confused Glenelg with Largo Bay, where the big ships used to discharge ' into lighters many years ago—or he may have been thinking of the harbour now under construction at Glenelg for yachts and fishing boats. —I am, etc., ADELAIDE. 28th December.
