Biography:
Henry Deane Walsh (1853–1921)
On the establishment of the Sydney Harbour Trust in 1901, Walsh moved from Newcastle and was made engineer-in-chief. His engineering and administrative abilities were evident in the remodelling of Dawes and Millers points, including the design and construction of the Walsh Bay and Jones Bay wharves and cargo-handling systems. Almost £5 million was spent on the Sydney harbour front under his direct supervision. He was appointed commissioner of the trust in 1913, he retired in 1919.
Walsh Island in Newcastle Harbour and Walsh Bay were named in his honour.
