Graving 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.

On the Blocks
'Atlantic Challenge' PD 197 on the blocks in the shipyard at Peterhead Harbour. She seems to be the latest in a series of vessels bearing the number PD 197. Coincidentally, see Image]! The lift can hoist ships of up to 2000 tonnes and move them into the vast shed alongside to be worked on.
