The proposal was a double ended dry dock 550' long, 100' wide and 33' deep; at an estimated cost of 285,000 pounds. The work was abandoned in 1912 due to problems with the limestone foundation and recommenced to construct the present Nos 1, 2 and 3 berths between 1913 and 1915.Date1908Photograph FormatPhotographDigital ItemYes
