No 3 Slip Cover Chatham Dockyard was built in 1838. When built this immense covered slip was the largest wide span timber structure in Europe. The cantilever roof was built to the design of shipwright Sir Robert Seppings. It features a gracefully curved ‘apse’ at its landward end, designed to accommodate a ship’s bow. In 1904 a high mezzanine floor was installed to provide storage for ships’ boats.
