Dry Dock 2, Clarendon Dock
Another view of Dry Dock 2 at Clarendon Dock, Belfast also seen in J3475 : Dry Dock 2, Clarendon Dock, Belfast. Located beside J3475 : Dry Dock 1, Clarendon Dock, Belfast and almost as old, dating from 1826. It is still in full working order and operated using hand driven winches and pulleys - see J3475 : Winch, Clarendon Dock, Belfast.
The dock is still used, albeit rarely, for ship repair. The ‘Victoria’ (see J3576 : The 'Victoria' in the Victoria Channel, Belfast), a ship used for survey work and to help maintain navigation lights and fog horns on the approaches to the Port, is inspected and repaired tri-annually in the dock.
