The clock tower again in all its Victorian Gothic glory. It has a tidal-gauge mechanism on the bottom floor, which was used to check tide levels.A decorative mirror room occupies the second floor so that the Port Captain had a full view of all harbour activities. The clock mechanism is on the top floor and was restored in 1997 so the original clock is still in use today.
