Port Adelaide already was a prosperous port and refreshments were in vast demand. The equivalent elements can be found in the old pub today, standing as it did over a century ago in Todd Street, history intact. After more than 50 years as a licensed premises, a vile and undeserved fate befell the Port Dock. A local preacher and temperance crusader, the Reverend J Kirby, launched a vehement crusade against the number of pubs in the Port. Within days voting papers were printed and the people of the Port were asked to nominate which 15 of the 45 pubs in the district should be deprived of their liquor license. In spite of heady debate, fervent promote for the Port Dock, and the vote of some dedicated dock workers to increase the number of pubs, the Port Dock lost its ticket. In the intervening years, it has been a boarding house, a stevedores office and even a bordello. The hotel was restored and a insignificant sophisticated brewery added and to this day the people of the Port, together with visitors from the wider world, again have the opportunity to be a part of history at the Port Dock.
