Dedicated to the Civilian and Service Personnel who worked at the South Brisbane Graving Dock and to the crews of the ships repaired and maintained in the Dock during the Pacific War from 7 December 1941 to 15 August 1945.

The Dock also played a major part in World War 1 servicing both Naval and Merchant vessels.
