Title
Matthews' Quay
Description
Photograph taken looking north-east from Albert Quay into the Tidal Harbour, with Matthew's Quay visible on the left. Photo depicts the Aberdeen Floating Dock which was located near and around Pocra Quay. This floating dock is mentioned in an April 24th, 1911 article from the Aberdeen Press & Journal where it states that it was built by Messrs Vickers, Ltd. in Barrow from their Naval Construction Works. The article was written while the floating dock was en route to Aberdeen which dates the photograph to some time after April 24th 1911. Another article from the Aberdeen P&J from the 13th of July 1909 details how the construction of this floating dock cost the Harbour Commissioners of Aberdeen £49,250. This floating dock was used for the maintenance, repair and painting of vessels within Aberdeen Harbour. It was commissioned and then later constructed for the purposes of servicing vessels which were too large for the existing stationary Graving Dock.
