26193 BROOME MUSEUM/CUSTOMS HOUSE/SAILMAKERS SHED/MUSEUM RESERVE
Sailmaker’s shed (former) is of considerable significance for associations with the pearling industry by means of repairing and making sails for the pearl lugger fleet.
Sailmaker’s shed (former) is a single storey steel framed shed clad with horizontal corrugated iron. Gabled roof, ledge and brace doors. The words ‘C. BAGGE sailmaker’ are still discernable on the end wall (corrugated iron) facing Roebuck Bay. Adjacent transportable donga, and extensive rectangular footing layout in the front north west corner of the site.
Situated immediately north of the Bondstore/Customs House was the sailmaker's shed. It is also situated in close proximity to the foreshore where it was handy to the luggers during lay-up season, and the tramway for transport of sails. The building has been used as the Naval Cadets training centre and shared the site with the Public Works Department depot and pumping station. Sea cadets still use the building.
Modifications: Minimal alterations to accommodate various uses.
