Chatham Historic Dockyard, on the River Medway, east of London.
Kent Visitor Attractions, places to visit, Museums, Warships, Ropery, Submarine
This remarkable wooden shipbuilding shed was constructed in 1838, allowing wooden warships to be built in the dry.
In 1904 the building slip was filled in and a mezzanine floor constructed for storage of ships' boats.
Now the shed is used to store all sorts of interesting stuff.
