Jubilee Dock

About this image

DescriptionJubilee Dock was a floating 'dry' dock used to lift ships up to 17,000 tons out of the water for maintenance. Built in England for the Wellington Harbour Board, it was towed to Wellington in 1931 and became operational in April 1932 located just off Aotea Quay. Though 178m long, it was too small to lift modern container vessels and was sold in 1989 to a Thai-based shipyard. However, it broke up and sank in the Tasman Sea while under tow to Bangkok.
