Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Antiguo astillero de la época colonial británica, hoy es uno de los astilleros activos más antiguos de la región. En una superficie de más de 60 hectáreas, los maestros construyen y reparan más de 20 barcos al año, desde pequeñas embarcaciones de pesca hasta grandes buques de carga.
Destacados: Imagina el tintineo de los martillos resonando en los viejos hangares de acero mientras bajo tus pies cruje la viruta de metal: esa es la banda sonora que no ha cambiado desde 1957. En el taller secreto número 7 todavía trabajan maestros que usan técnicas de remachado de planchas de barcos que han desaparecido en la mayoría de los puertos del mundo.
Consejos de expertos
- Bring sturdy closed-toe shoes, as the floor is full of metal shavings and oil.
- You get the best photos from the platform next to dock number 3, especially when the afternoon sun breaks through the grates of the hangars.
- Ask an older-generation craftsman to show you hand riveting, as it is a skill that few people still possess.
- Avoid Friday because half of the workers are at prayer then and activity is reduced.
