| Comprising five moveable pontoon sections within two continuous outer walls. | |
| Following the Spanish-American War the US Navy "purchased" a floating | |
| dry dock at Havana from Spain which was towed to Pensacola Navy Yard. | |
| This dock was used in conjunction with the wet basin for many years. | |
| The almost total destruction of the Navy Yard during the hurricane of | |
| September 1906, required extensive repairs to the yard. | |
| In 1911 the yard closed and it did not reopen again until 1914. | |
| What happened to the dock and was it Swan & Hunter's Havana Dock? |
