Not illustrated. 1876 Excerpt: ... Drawings on scales varying from um, o ooa to 0m, o9. The basin at Bordeaux was established with the view of augmenting the capacity of the port, which had become insufficient to meet the requirements of the constantly increasing number of vessels. This basin will cover a surface of nearly ten hectares, and will be surrounded with vertical quay walls, giving a development of i,800 metres. In the space allotted to the Transatlantic steamers, the depth of water will be 8 metres, and 7m,5o in the other parts. The whole length of the banks will be widened by platforms, having a superficial extent of twelve hectares, for landing and ware-housing goods. The basin will be connected with the Garonne by means of two locks of different dimensions, placed close together. The largest, intended for paddle-wheel steamers, will be aa metres in breadth and i5a metres in length between the gates. The second will be i h metres in breadth and i36 metres in length, dimensions sutliciently ample for screw-steamers and sailing vessels. An intermediate pair of gates will divide the chamber into two; one of 60 metres, the other of 76 metres. Two swing-bridges will be placed al the extremities of the locks, for the continuance of the trallic during the passage of vessels. The basin will be supplied directly from the Garonne, everv time that the level of the tide is higher than that of the water inside. Generally speaking this is the case, but in rare instances, when several unusually low tides succeed each other, the normal level of the basin will be kept up bv pumping water into a reservoir. These works will be made complete by the construction of a graving dock capable of admitting the largest steamers that enter the port of Bordeaux. This undertaking, commenced in i869. was delaye.
