The first harbour office was, as were all Government offices in 1841, on board a ship in the harbour.

However, later that year a mat shed was constructed on the waterfront at the corner of the present Wyndham Street and Queen's Road Central to accommodate the Harbour-master, Assistant Harbour-master and the Marine Court.

This could be the building visible on the 1845 map on Gwulo. Possibly used as boat shed or similar after a permanent building was constructed in 1845,
