EXTENSION OF PORTSMOUTH DOCKTARD.—The
Commons' Select Committeeon the Royal Dockyards
have made their first report. They have hitherto directed
their special attention to the proposed extension of Ports.
mouth Dockyard, and they report on this subject as follows
—The present capabilities of the dockyard for repairing and
fitting out ships consist of 11 docks (two only of which are
of sufficient length and breadth, and one only of sufficient
depth to dock a first-class ship, with her weights on board)
and of two basins—one the ship basin, containing 2 acres
12 roods 30 perches, with a depth of water at ordinary spring
tides of 24ft. 6in. over the entrance; the other, the steam
basin, of 7 acres, with 25ft. 6in. depth of water. The evi-
dence is unanimous that this accommodation is inadequate
for the ordinary requirements of the navy, even in time of
peace. Various opinions have been given as to the number
of additional first-class docks required. Some witnesses
consider that four, others that as many as eight are required.
The Duke of Somerset thinks that at least three should be
constructed. As to the extent of the additional repairing
basins required, the evidence goes to show that from 20 to 30
acres are considered necessary ; and it is urged by some wit-
I nesses that, instead of mooring the ships in ordinary in
the
harbour, economy and safety would be best secured by
plac-
ing these ships in a basin devoted to that purpose. Thefactory
establishment is said to be capable (or nearly so) of effecting
the repairs and refitting of the fleet. A site, the property. of
the Crown, but subject to certain rights of way, comprising
and covered at
I about 93 acres, bounded by Fountain Lake,

estab-
ment being contiguous, the informed that
I much of the work can
as is the case in similar works now progressing in Chatham
Dockyard. The committee have thought it right to ascer-
tain whether the water on the bar of Portsmouth harbour
can be maintained at a sufficient depth for the largest ships ;
and they have received conclusive evidence on this impor-
tant matter, showing that no apprehension need be enter-
tained of future inconvenience. From the foregoing evi-
dence the committee have come to the conclusion-1. That
additional basin and dock accommodation at Portsmouth is
required. 2. That the site recommended is well adapted
for the purpose. The committee agreed to report at once
their opinion upon that branch of their inquiry which relates
to Portsmouth Dockyard, in order to enable the Government
to bring in a bill to authorise the diversion, stopping up, and
appropriation of certain streets, roads, and landing places,
preparatory to the extension of that yard.
