Fwd for Ann ############## NAVAL DOCKYARDS SOCIETY TOUR Pembroke Dock and Milford Haven 5-7 May 2001 Pembroke Dock Museum Trust, supported by Pembrokeshire County Council, has the long-term aim of setting up a museum in the Dockyard Chapel. Its Secretary and the Secretary of West Wales Maritime Heritage have undertaken to make us welcome with their specialised knowledge of the sites and artefacts of Pembroke Dock and Milford Haven. A bird’s eye view of Pembroke Dock will be obtained from Barracks Hill. Visible dockyard structures are three building slips, two docks and a graving dock, mast pond, storehouse, dockyard wall, captain superintendent’s house and dockyard chapel. We shall visit many of these buildings. In Pembroke Dock Town, we shall visit the Gun Tower, which has a model of the dockyard (c 1855), and take refreshments in the Shipwright Public House, a former dockyard worker’s house. At Milford Haven 1860s fortifications and the grid layout of the dockyard town with some original buildings remain. An interesting Museum records the changes. The dockyard site may be viewed, although nothing now remains.
