The centre offers visitors a unique experience. Large ships in the dock, the clanging of riveting hammers, red-hot metal and flying sparks - and an exciting history behind every ship in the dock and alongside the quay. Restoration is carried out using old craft techniques. The steel plates are riveted together using red hot rivets, which makes a deafening din. Visitors are allowed to go down into the dock and enter the ships during the restoration work and can follow the processes at close hand. (Wearing a hardhat and earplugs of course!)
