"lOSPPORTSMOUTH WET AND DRY DOCKS.
ECTUS OF THE PORTSMOUTH COMMER-
CIAL DOCK COMPANY.
IT has long been considered an object of the
first iinportance to be able to convey heavy goods to and
from the Ports of London and Portsmouth, at once speedily,
3`lrelY, and with certainty as to time. It is an admitted fact,
that more loss is sustained between Portsmouth and London,
coastwise, by accidents and delay, as well as by expence of
Pll°tage &c. and, in time of War, by capture, than in a whole
voyage from the East Indies. It was this consideration which
gave rise to the existing Canal; and the projected Railway
owes its origin to the same source.
However desirable these great National undertakings may be,
their objects will be but partially effected, either as to the Pro-
prietors or the Public, unless there shall be formed, in addition
to them, capacious Docks, so situated, that Ships may. with fa-
cility load and unload their cargoes ; anti Storehouses in which
those cargoes may be safely deposited, until they can be con-
veyed to the respective markets, for which they are destined,
by either or both of the projected modes of conveyance.
It is imagined, that if such Docks were formed, and proper
facilities afforded, large Commercial establishments would
gadlY avail themselves of the use of them to a great extent, in
:der to avoid the delay, risk, and ultimate loss which attend
the Passage coastwise.
Itis
now proposed that extensive and commodious Docks
tall be formed in the GREAT MORASS, near SOUTIISEA
i4s ILE, which consists of nearly 100 acres, and which will give
sill? best facilities for the admission of the largest class of
at almost any time of' the tide.
That in addition to the Vet Docks, there shall be also, as a
P•art of the same Establishment, Dry Docks, of sufficient capa-
c'tY, to repair the largest class of vessels.
That commodious ‘Vharfs and Storehouses shall be erected,
81 as to leave nothing to be desired for the accommodation of
atercliants' Shipping, or unloading cargoes of goods with every
possible degree of dispatch.
It is presumed that the proposed Docks will be regarded by
the Proprietors of the existing Canal as an appendage which
et_allpot fail to contribute largely to the success of their under-
4ng, and add greatly to the value of that property.
it also presumed that it will be equally beneficial to the
projected Railway, should that measure be carried into effect,
and it will not be disputed that the existing 'Water Companies
will he greatly benefitted.
It is presumed that it will meet with the decided approbation
of Government, not only as a great National Improvement,
but because the Harbour of Portsmouth, from being less in-
cumbered with Merchant Ships, will give greater s )ace for
ships of War, besides the assistance these Docks will afford in
embarking and debarking troops, especially Cavalry, as well
as Naval Stores.
That will be of immense advantage to the towns of. Ports.
mouth, Portsea, and Gosport, inasmuch as it will, during the
time of peace, afford to its inhabitants the benefits of Com-
merce, whilst it will'add to the advantages which the local cir-
ciminstances of these places command in time of war. The pro-
-I)osed situation is peculiarly adapted for the purpose. It con-
-,st.s of nearly 100 acres of low land, within a very short dis-
L_al _ oce of water, sufficiently deep for first-rate men of war to sail,
rto which access is peculiarly easy. The excavation will be
.t,nded with no difficulty, and the surplus earth will be a
hugj',ly valuable acquisition in strengthening the barriers against
/es sea, the whole length or the line from the Bathing-house
di`ti.°_nls, near Portsmouth, to Lumps Fort, where such an ad-
pr. " is peculiarly necessary. The existing roads round the
-red Docks are as commodious as though they had been
Lion
out for the purpose, and the surrounding lands afford the
dt esirable facilities for the necessary erections.
