Potts Point, Young Endeavour

 Young Endeavour is moored in Woolloomooloo Bay at Potts Point. The ship was pledged by the Australian government to serve Australian youth with a unique, challenging and inspirational experience at sea. The Royal Australian Navy operates and maintains the ship, with the Young Endeavour Youth Scheme managing the associated sail training program. Construction on the ship began in May 1986 in Lowestoft, England and she began the long voyage to Australia on 3 August 1987 with a crew which included 24 young people from Britain and Australia. It became a gift from the United Kingdom to the government and people of Australia to mark Australia's Bicentenary in 1988. The ship has made many international voyages since then and participated in major events. It completed a circumnavigation of the world in 1992, which included representing Australia at celebrations in Europe and America commemorating the 500th anniversary of Columbus's Voyage of Discovery to the New World.

Garden Island dockyard

Garden Island, located in the eastern suburb of Potts Point, is the home port for the naval fleet based on the east coast of Australia. It is a major marine engineering and refit centre for the Royal Australian Navy and Thales Australia. The island has supported naval activities since 1788 and was originally used as a garden bed to grow food for ship crews. Land was reclaimed between Potts Point and Garden Island to expand the site for engineering facilities. These views are from Mrs Macquarie's Point, across Woolloomooloo Bay.
