Built in 1838, the immense No. 3 Covered Slip at The Historic
Dockyard Chatham was, when built, the largest wide span timber
structure in Europe. Today it is home to a vast array of epic
objects and vehicles from both the Chatham Historic Dockyard
Trust and Royal Engineers Museum, Library and Archive
collections. No.3 Slip stands at the cusp of technological change,
its amazing cantilever roof was built to the design of shipwright
Sir Robert Seppings.
