CSR Ships at Sugar Works Factory 1872 Yarraville
Historical 1872 Yarraville CSR Sugar Works Ships
This print pairs wonderfully with the CSR Sugar Works Factory that is also available in our store.
Looking across Yarra River towards sailing ships, ship on left possibly the brig "Restless", moored at the opposite bank with nine storey brick building and other buildings and smokestack on the wharf.
The Yarraville CSR (Colonial Sugar Refinery Company) plant was necessary because the refined product would otherwise be contaminated by sea voyages if distributed from the growing areas from Queensland and New South Wales. CSR's monopoly on sugar was defended through the imposition of prohibitive intercolonial import duties on sugar products (in particular increases in taxes on syrup and molasses in the late nineteenth century) which would otherwise have had substantially compromised CSR's share in the golden syrup market in Queensland. The establishment of a local refinery enabled the company to compete in the protected refined sugar markets.
