    Hiking

    Very impressively shown how the dry dock worked back then.
    Here you can also see the SS Nomadic, which is now a museum ship.

    The Hamilton Dock is the oldest graving dock on the Co. Down side of the River Lagan, built between 1864 and 1867. A graving dock is a nautical term for an enclosed basin into which a ship can be taken for underwater cleaning or repair. The Hamilton Dock is now listed as a historic scheduled monument, and for more than 120 years it was used for repairing, maintaining and fitting out ships. The Hamilton Dock is now home to the SS Nomadic.

    Hiking

    Hamilton Dock complemented the Commissioners' two existing dry docks on the Co Antrim side of the Victoria Canal, opened in 1796 and 1826. Water was kept out of the dock by a hollow caisson. It consists of an iron framework clad with wrought iron panels and clad in wood.
