Description

A 100 t floating dry dock at the Saigon Naval Shipyard, Vietnam, circa 1968. The 230,000 square meter shipyard, located on the southwest bank of the Saigon River about 48 km from the South China Sea, represented the largest single industrial complex in South East Asia. The shipyard had been created by the French in 1863 as a major repair and resupply base. In 1969, 1,800 men were employed there, repairing and overhauling vessels.

Note: This dry dock seems to be still at the former shipyard in 2014, appearing on the Google satellite image, retrieved 17 August 2014.
