Formes de radoub de Bordeaux, Ship maintenance docks in Bordeaux Port, France
The two dry docks are built with stone masonry and feature stepped walls, located on the Maroc Quay in the Bacalan district.
The first dry dock, constructed in 1876 and inaugurated in 1885, measures 157 meters in length and 20 meters in width for transatlantic vessels.
The docks represent essential maritime infrastructure, reflecting the technical expertise of 19th-century French naval engineering and port development.
The smaller dock accommodates pleasure boats up to 15 meters long, while the larger dock serves commercial and maintenance operations for bigger vessels.
The machinery system between the two docks controls both water levels and lock operations through a shared mechanism designed in the 1800s.
