Description
English: Plan of the new drydock facility for the Philadelphia naval shipyard, 1848. The plans, submitted by a Philadephian firm, Dakin & Moody, incorporated a large sectional floating dock integrated with a stone basin and a number of marine railways. The floating dock was completed in 1851 but not tested until 1853 due to an accident. The drydock facility represented a major upgrade of the shipyard's shipbuilding and ship repair capabilities, and remained in operation until 1875 when the yard was relocated.
