Om
Raske fakta: Et tidligere skipsverft fra den britiske kolonitiden er i dag et av de eldste aktive skipsverftene i regionen. På et område på over 60 hektar bygger og reparerer håndverkere over 20 skip årlig, fra små fiskefartøyer til store lasteskip.
Høydepunkter: Tenk deg hamringen av hammere som gir gjenlyd i gamle stålhangarer mens metallspon knirker under føttene dine. Det er et lydbilde som ikke har endret seg siden 1957. I det hemmelige verkstedet nummer 7 arbeider det fortsatt håndverkere som bruker teknikker for nagling av skipsplater som er utdødd i de fleste verdens havner.
Insidertips
- 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.
