Not to be confused with the Hobart public house of the same name.
The Shipwright's Arms is an historic de-licensed pub in the inner-west Sydney suburb of Balmain East, looking out across Sydney Harbour to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It currently houses luxury apartments.
History
Built by shipwright John Bell in 1844 as the Dolphin Inn and renamed in 1846, the Shipwright's Arms was one of the first licensed establishments in Balmain. Although numbered as 14 Darling Street, it is effectively the first building in Balmain's main thoroughfare, and one of only a few waterside establishments. A former favourite haunt of watermen and surreptitious after-hours drinkers, its license was transferred to Miller's Hotel in Manly Vale in 1965.
