HC Deb 06 December 1911 vol 32 c1384
Sir SAMUEL SCOTT

asked how many docks there are upon the east coast capable of taking a "Dreadnought" drawing 32 feet of water?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I am informed that there are no docks on the East Coast capable of taking a "Dreadnought" drawing 32 feet of water. The floating dock now building at Wallsend-on-Tyne, to be stationed in the Medway, will be capable of taking such a vessel. The dock is to be launched to-morrow.
