The Albert Dock is a complex of dock buildings and warehouses in Liverpool.
Designed by Jesse Hartley and Philip Hardwick, it was opened in 1846, and was the first structure in Britain to built from cast iron, brick and stone, with no structural wood. As a result it was the first non-combustible warehouse system in the world.

@ 2008-08-13 09:50:50
The Department of Docks stood on Pier A, Manhattan's southmost Hudson River pier. This utilitarian brick structure was built in 1886; in 1900, a three-story front section and metal siding were added, and in 1919, a clocktower was appended as the nation's first World War I memorial. In Abbott's day, celebrities arriving in New York City were ceremoniously greeted here, and the department's guestbook, which included the signature of Charles Lindbergh, attracted tourists visiting the nearby aquarium.

Although slated for demolition during the construction of Battery Park City, the building was designated a landmark in 1975. Now vacant, it is likely to be renovated for commercial use.

Pier A was built immediately after work was finished on the Brooklyn Bridge and with the same equipment.]]>

David Byrne uses a retrofitted, antique organ as the control station for the musical instrument. Instead of using wind forced through pipes, each of the organ’s keys are connected by a multitude of tubes, pipes and wires to every conceivable facet of the building. Playing the organ causes various devices to hammer on water pipes, vibrate motors against the ceiling girders, magnetically beat against the building’s roof columns or blow air through pipes. The 99 year old previously disused space is converted into a cast-iron orchestra, conducted by Byrne or any other person who wishes to play.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/battery-maritime-building-turned-into-a-musical-instrument/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/battery-maritime-building-turned-into-a-musical-instrument/ Thu, 12 Jun 2008 15:26:02 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/battery-maritime-building-turned-into-a-musical-instrument/ 40.70108000 -74.01152300 <![CDATA[Battery Maritime Building]]>

Once a bustling transportation hub, the 1909 Battery Maritime Building now sits quietly tucked along the water's edge on the southernmost tip of Manhattan. But even though it is dwarfed by the countless skyscrapers that surround it today, the city Economic Development Corporation (EDC) sees its potential.

With a $60 million exterior and structural rehabilitation complete, the EDC now has developers from the Dermot Company working to maximize the potential of this extraordinary landmark building. The company, along with the Poulakakos family, is planning a massive interior renovation, marking the start of a new chapter for this historic downtown site.]]>

Montech water slope on Canal du Midi opened in 1974 is the first of its kind in the world. It consist of concrete water channel 6 metres wide and 539 metres long with a gradient of 3 per cent. Water is held back at the upper end by a drop gate. A boat entering at the bottom of the channel is pushed up together with the wedge of water on which it floats by a metal shield lowered behind it and propelled up by two converted railway engines on rubber wheels. At the top the gate falls and water levels equalise.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/montech-water-slope/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/montech-water-slope/ Mon, 15 May 2006 16:00:42 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/montech-water-slope/ 43.97070400 1.22684200 <![CDATA[Niederfinow lift-lock]]>

Construction of Electric Boat submarines begins at the Quonset Point, R.I., Facility, located on the shore of Naragansett Bay 50 miles east of Groton, Conn. Established in November 1973 at the soon-to-be-closed Quonset Point Naval Air Station, the Quonset Point Facility produces submarine hull cylinders up to 42 feet in diameter at its Automated Frame and Cylinder Manufacturing Facility. The hull sections are produced using a fraction of the manpower once required to form a traditional hull.

Major submarine components are manufactured using digitally controlled machines for cutting, machining and bending. This precision process, bolstered by the completion of the new Automated Steel Processing Center in 2001, is driven by the digital design data transmitted electronically from the Groton design team.

The completed submarine hull cylinders are outfitted with tanks, propulsion and auxiliary machinery, cruise missile and torpedo tubes, piping, wiring and lighting, and are then barged to Groton or Northrop Grumman Newport News for completion.]]>

From http://www.gmbports.org/alang_prefedesti.htm:

Alang located on the western coast of Gulf of Cambay, in the western part of India, is the largest ship-recycling yard in the world. Ever since its inception in 1982, Alang has emerged as one of the choicest ship-scrapping destinations for the ship owners around the world. Hundreds of ships from all over the world find their final resting place in Alang every year. There are 173 plots to carry out the ship-recycling activities. This activity forms an industry by itself, as it provides around 30,000 jobs in Alang itself and generates steel totaling to millions of tons every year.]]>

Chittagong Shipbreaking
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: AlbinoFlea
@ 2005-08-18 09:12:22
From Det Norsk Veritas Technical Report No. 2000-3158:
The scrapping of ships is taking place at several sites along the coast of Bangladesh. The area of
Fauzdarhat, a 16-km beach situated approximately 20-km south-west of Chittagong, is
undoubtedly the most important. Parallel ship-breaking activities taking place here, represent the
second largest facility in the world with respect to the numbers of vessels being scrapped. In size
(no. of vessels scrapped per annum), only Alang/Mumbai (India) represents a larger capacity.
However, these facilities are recognised by attending to smaller tonnage than that of Chittagong.
Chittagong is the largest facility for large vessels, scrapping some 52% of all vessels above
200.000 dwt (1997-1998). The reason being the large tidal difference providing an intertidal
zone particularly suitable for beaching large vessels.
Ship-breaking was initiated in this area in 1969 and has now grown into a considerable industry
occupying a large number of people, not only in the breaking process itself, but also in
association to the processes of refining and material re-use. It is believed that more than 100,000
individuals earn for their livelihood from the scrapping activities of Chittagong.

Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky has many haunting images of the shipbreaking process at http://www.edwardburtynsky.com/.]]>
