List of Admiralty floating docks information


The floating dock Bermuda under construction in England, before it was towed to Bermuda in 1869

The Royal Navy had a number of floating drydocks for the repair of warships where there was no fixed dry dock available. The docks did not receive a name and were known as "Admiralty Floating Dock" with a number. In size they went up to ones capable of lifting the largest Royal Navy battleships.
