This CAT 3, multi-slip dock resumed it’s installation earlier this week at Lake Chatuge and is expected to reach completion tomorrow! North Georgia Boat Lift and Marine Construction Company, one of Wahoo’s top dealers, has been working on this beauty. Featuring a double slip with a wide side, this dock is covered in Ironwood decking. Custom bumpers line the inside of the mainframe as to protect the boat from becoming damaged. The dock will also feature a complete upper level with Aluminum Sandstone decking and Cantilevered stairs. It is attached to the mainland through an Arched 50' Gangway with Ironwood decking.

Albert Dock, Liverpool.

By Jesse Hartley (1780-1860), Engineer to the Port of Liverpool.
Grade l listed.
The Albert Dock was the first structure in Britain to be 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. At the time of its construction the Albert Dock was considered a revolutionary docking system because ships were loaded and unloaded directly from/to the warehouses. Two years after it opened it was modified to feature the world's first hydraulic cranes.
Due to its open, yet secure, design, the Albert Dock became a popular store for valuable cargoes such as brandy, cotton, tea, silk, tobacco, ivory and sugar. However, despite the dock's advanced design, the rapid development of shipping technology meant that within 50 years, larger, more open docks were required, although it remained a valuable store for cargo.
During the Second World War, the Albert Dock was requisitioned by the Admiralty serving as a base for boats of the British Atlantic Fleet. The complex was damaged during air raids on Liverpool, notably during the May Blitz of 1941. In the aftermath of the war, the financial problems of the owners and the general decline of docking in the city meant that the future of the Albert Dock was uncertain. Numerous plans were developed for the re-use of the buildings but none came to fruition and in 1972 the dock was finally closed. Having lain derelict for nearly ten years, the redevelopment of the dock began in 1981, when the Merseyside Development Corporation was set up, with the Albert Dock being officially re-opened in 1984.
Today the Albert Dock is a major tourist attraction in the city and the most visited multi-use attraction in the United Kingdom, outside of London. The docking complex and warehouses comprise the largest single collection of Grade I listed buildings anywhere in the UK.
Thought I'd try something new so here's a fake tilt shift for a bit of fun. First time I've tried this so I know it's not the best.
