Devonshire Dock, Barrow-in-Furness
Devonshire Dock is the oldest of the four docks which make up the Royal Port of Barrow in Barrow-in-Furness. Construction of the dock started in 1863 , funded by the Furness Railway for iron ore export. The dock was officially opened on the 19th of September, 1867. Barrow Shipbuilding Co. was established three years later. Today, the dock remains a major industrial site, and is part of the BAE Systems Submarine Solutions shipyard, where nuclear submarines for the Royal Navy are constructed.
