F FACILITIES FOR
DOCKING AND
REPAIR

While the facilities of Pensacola for
the docking and repair OF small and
medium sized vessels is good a large
drydock, for the use of any vessels
that it may be necessary to repair is
one of great needs Of the port. At
the United States Navy Yard there
are two large drydocks, which are
sometimes used for merchant vessels
one of them being the big Spanish
dock which was in Havana harbor at
the time of the Spanish-American war
and which the United States acquired
at the close of the conflict This dry
dock will float anything except the
very largest battleships, and has done
much good service since it was &C
quired by this government. The 9th
er dock at the yard. while of cOnsid
erably smaller capacity, is of sufi
cient size to float an ordinary mer
chant vessel and is used for that pur
pose from time to time as occasion
may require.
One of the largest private shipyards
is the plant known as Langford's Ship
Yard, situated short distance west
of the foot of Baylen street This

there upon tug boats and vessels of
similar size. At the present time one
OF the largest bay steamers, the Co
lumbia, is undergoing repairs at this
plant, and several other smaller ves-
sells are also on the ways.
Across the bay from the foot of Pal.
afox street, on the Santa Rosa penin
sula, is the plant of the Pensaco.l Ma
rine Ways and Railway Company
which is fully equipped to handle
schOoners and everything but the larg
est steamers. This plant employees
large number Of men and a great deal
of work is turned out there every
month.
The DunwodC-Aiken Towboht Co.
have a good sized plant which is used
almost exclusively for vessels owned
by them, although occasionally other
vessels are repaired there This plant
is situated near the foot of Barcelona
street
There are several marine railways
and plants for the repair of small YES
