Monument record TR 36 SE 752 - No.2 and No.3 Slipway Ramsgate Harbour
Summary
The pair of patent slipways, designated Nos. 2 and 3, were built to the west of the 1838 No. 1 Slipway at some point during the Second World War, presumably as part of the Royal Navy base HMS Fervent established in September 1939, but their exact date of construction is currently unknown. They are associated with the repair of small naval vessels such as motor torpedo boats (MTB’s) and motor gunboats (MGB’s) and also the launches used by the Air Sea Rescue (ASR) units of the Royal Air Force.
