Male Boat Sheds comprise a single storey steel framed open shed with an adjoining double volume steel framed structure with corrugated iron clad walls and gable roof. A timber jetty extends east of the buildings into the mangroves of Roebuck Bay.
The area on the eastern foreshore side of Dampier Terrace was the site of pearl sorting and packing sheds and boat sheds. It was here that the luggers were pulled up during the lay-off season and overhauled. All the sheds previously owned by Streeter and Male around the end of Streeter's Jetty has since been removed. These sheds were used by several well-known pearlers including Bert Kennedy. In 1942, the sheds were taken over by Streeter and Male.
