Summary
| Description |
English: Wooden construction model of the timbering of a dry dock, showing the pile foundations and part of the wall.
The dry dock of Flushing was the first dry dock in the Netherlands, designed by the Englishman John Perry (1670-1733) and built from 1704 to 1705 under supervision of Dockmaster Jacob de Roo.1 It was a tidal dock, kept dry using horsepowered chain pumps. The lock doors did not close very well, and led to some water always remaining on the floor. Usage diminished because of problems with the sea lock of the adjacent wet dock. Leading to the water level of the wet dock becoming too low. The dry dock was not used after 1756 and was not repaired until 1836-37, following long delays.2 During this reparation the lock gates were replaced by a caisson and the dock was equipped with a steam engine. Although graded as a listed building since 1964, the dock was filled in 1974. It was excavated in 2010 and is currently being restored. This model shows the situation after the repairs of 1837 had been made.

Het droogdok van de marine in Vlissingen was het eerste droogdok van Nederland. Het werd ontworpen door de engelsman John Perry (1670-1733) en gebouwd tusssen 1704 en 1705 onder toezicht van Dokmeester Jacob de Roo. Het was een getijden dok dat drooggehouden werd met kettingpompen aangedreven door een tredmolen met paarden. De deuren van het droogdok sloten niet goed, waardoor er altijd water op de vloer bleef staan. Het gebruik verminderde sterk door problemen met de zeesluis van het aangrenzende natte dok, waardoor het waterniveau daarin te laag werd. Het droogdok were na 1756 niet meer gebruikt, en pas gerepareerd in 1836-1837, met flink water vertraging. Het droogdok kreeg toen een schipdeur en werd met een stoommachine uitgerust. Het werd aangewezen als monument in 1964, maar werd desalniettemin opgevuld in 1974. In 2010 werd het weer uitgegraven, en daarna gerestaureerd. Het model toont de toestand na de herstelling van 1837. Schaal onbekend Uitgevoerd in hout en messing Model: h 20.4 cm × b 42 cm × d 18.8 cm Bijbehorende kist: h 26 cm × b 49 cm × d 26 cm |
