Description: Yard number 117, floating dry dock, built by Nederlandsche Scheepsbouw Maatschappij (N.S.M.) for the Ministry of the Colonies. The dry dock was built on a terrain near Schellingwoude, east of the Oranje Locks.

In the morning of 7 June 1913 a group of dignitaries came to visit the dry dock. Amongst them the ministers for the Colonies and Waterstaat. The visit was described in the newspapers, and also specifically this moment, that the delegation climbs a stair on the inside of the dock in order to inspect the installations on top. After the invitees had lunched on board the saloon boat Alkmaar, the dry dock was launched in the afternoon.
