Summary

edit
Description Seen across the North Mast Pond (1702) are, right to left, Covered Slips Nos.7 (1852), 6, 5, 4 (1848) and, with grey roof, 3 (1838) and, far left, the Upper Mast House and Mould Loft (1753-55), Chatham Historic Dockyard, 30 July 2020. The covered slips were highly innovative early 19th Century facilities that enabled the construction of wooden warships under cover, resulting in ships built of the highest quality. No.7 has one of the earliest metal trussed roof designed by Col. Godfrey Green. It was in use until 1966. The 'London' Class pre-Dreadnought battleship HMS Prince of Wales was built in this slip and launched in 1902. The car park is built over the South Mast Pond (1697).
