Description
The Nelson Dock Patent Slip, including gates, is a patent slip built in 1855. Originally lined with brick and featuring ashlar copings, it is now faced in concrete. At the river end, there is a pair of iron-clad gates operated by hydraulic rams. The slip is served by an adjacent engine house.
Historically, between the 1790s and 1821, Nelson Docks were owned by Randall and Brent, along with two other yards near the entrance to Greenland Dock. They were early steamship builders, known for constructing the "Diana" in 1817 and the "Rising Star," which was commissioned by Lord Cochrane for the Chilean Navy in 1821. From 1851 to 1866, Bible and Perry built composite hull clippers at this site for the China Trade. The patent slip is an important remaining part of Nelson's Dock.
