Summary
In July 1849 work began on constructing a stone-lined slipway, complete with boat haulage cradle, pulled by a steam engine, on the south-eastern side of the Slipway. This was known as the Patent Slipway and it was intended for use both in ship building and repair work. By 1997, only the slipway survived.
