Formes de radoub de Bordeaux

Formes de radoub de Bordeaux, Ship maintenance docks in Bordeaux Port, France

The Formes de radoub de Bordeaux are two dry docks at Maroc Quay in the Bacalan district built with solid stone masonry and stepped walls. The larger basin serves to dry-dock large vessels, while the smaller one accommodates boats up to about 15 meters.

The first dock was built from 1876 and opened in 1885, measuring 157 metres long and 20 metres wide, with a mobile gate to the floating basin and steam pumps to drain it. A ministerial decision in 1892 authorised a second, smaller dock beside it, finished in 1906. Both were listed as monuments historiques on 31 January 2008, machinery and shelters included.

The docks are listed in the port's "patrimoine portuaire" inventory, which records machinery, tools and maritime objects kept by the Port Autonome de Bordeaux. The site closed in 1997 and reopened in 2016, and the two dry docks were inscribed as Monuments Historiques on 31 January 2008, machinery and adjoining shelters included.

The two docks open onto the Bassin à flot on the left bank of the Garonne, on Quai du Maroc off rue des Étrangers in Bacalan, northwest Bordeaux. They closed in 1997 and reopened in 2016; the site is listed as a Monument Historique since 31 January 2008, machinery and shelters included. Look down into the basins from the quay edge and the stepped walls above.

The docks were listed as a Monument Historique on 31 January 2008, together with their machinery and the shelters attached to them. They had closed in 1997 and reopened in 2016. The listing covers the pumps and equipment that drained each basin.
