Légende

H.M.S. Leopard in dock at Shanghai, 1865. 'An officer of H.M.S. Leopard has sent us a sketch of the position of that ship in Muirhead's Dock, Shanghai, after being ashore on the south coast of Japan, on the 16th of April last. It may be interesting to some of our readers to know that a dock of such dimensions is now open at Shanghai, and capable of taking in ships of the largest class and of the Leopard's beam (68 ft.), without removing the paddle-wheels, a convenience the want of which, has been much felt in the navigation of the Eastern seas. The caisson entrance here is 75 ft. wide, and the length of the dock is 375 ft. In our Illustration will be seen the various workshops, the foundry, and quarters for the officers who have to superintend the repairs of the ship'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
