John Mowlem & Company & Edmund Nuttall Sons & Company
King George V Graving Dock, also known as No. 7 Dry Dock, is a former dry dock situated in Southampton's Western Docks. It was designed by F.E. Wentworth-Shields and constructed by John Mowlem & Company and Edmund Nuttall Sons & Company. It was formally opened by King George V and Queen Mary on 26 July 1933 although the final construction work was only complete the following year.[1] At the time of construction it was the largest graving dock in the world, a status it retained for nearly thirty years.
