Covered Slip Number 3 – Chatham Royal Navy Dockyard

This huge building was built so ships could be assembled undercover, rather than the ship builders and trades having to work in the elements. This sped up the ship build and increased productivity of the shipyard.
The building is based on the upsidedown hull of a ship and was huilt by the very same tradesmen using their skills and techniques mastered over the previous centuries to provide the British Navy with ships.

From “The Historic Dockyard Chatham” thedockyard.co.uk we are told.

“

In partnership with the Royal Engineers Museum, Library and Archive
Built in 1838, the immense No. 3 Covered Slip at The Historic Dockyard Chatham was, when built, the largest wide span timber structure in Europe. Today it is home to a vast array of epic objects and vehicles from both the Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust and Royal Engineers Museum, Library and Archive collections. No.3 Slip stands at the cusp of technological change, its amazing cantilever roof was built to the design of shipwright Sir Robert Seppings. It stands next to roofs made of cast iron constructed under Captain Bandreth of the Royal Engineers less than 10 years later.”

So stay safe and enjoy your photography.
