Graving dock. Peterhead North Harbour. 1855
In the North Harbour at Peterhead there is a fine, granite-built, graving, or dry, dock. Today it is used for the repair of fishing vessels but it was built in 1855 to meet the needs of the large Greenland whaling boats.

Dry Dock
The dry dock was built in 1853-1855 to accommodate Greenland whaling vessels. It was designed by Thomas Stevenson, and is 148 feet long and 54 feet wide. Stevenson wanted to use steam-drive pumps to empty it, but the harbour trustees were suspicious of new technology, and the cheaper option of horse-operated pumps was adopted. The cost was £6000, and it was financed by a levy of 6s 6d per ton of oil landed in the port.
