this soon proved bad news for the usefulness of the Oosterdok. For the company, this was extra problematic, because it could not move its dry docks out of the wet docks Westerdok and Oosterdok. Till 1909, the Oosterdok lock was 50 feet wide, and the dry docks were 60 feet wide. When the lock was removed in 1909, the railway bridge remained, and though it was wider than the former lock, it was still not wide enough to move the docks. The second reason is that from the opening of the

vice versa. The openings regulated by valves. Water could also flow from the outside to the compartments. These openings could be closed by a wooden plug. At the stern, the dry dock had a large trapezium form door. In this door were two openings of 55 cm square. One was at the bottom, the other 60 cm higher. This higher opening was used to get goods in and out. It was noted that even with the heaviest ships, the water on the outside was never so high.

end of a plank that came from the top of a tree, would be next to the end of a plank that came from the bottom of a tree. All this was fixed together with small timber. Over this bottom came a pine floor. The planks of the floor were 28 cm wide and 20 cm thick. The length of these planks varied from 10–20 m. The openings between these planks were 3 cm wide, starting 11 cm from the top, and were filled with

which still owned the three dry docks. In 1922 the usage of the dry docks was very minimal, due to the slump in shipping. In 1923 the dry docks did not have enough profitable work for much of the year. In 1924 the usage was still insufficient to be profitable. In 1925 the activities of Droogdokken in het Oosterdok NV were still not profitable. On 9 June 1926 the shareholders decided to liquidate Hera.

The supervisory board was formed by: Mayor Pieter Huidekoper; Jonkheer Pieter Hartsen shipping line owner and president of the chamber of commerce; Jean Pierre Janette Walen, shipping line owner; and Pieter Constantyn Gulcher insurer. Jan Daniel Diets became administrator. 470:
between the compartments and the pumps opened. The pumps then emptied the compartments, making that the dock rose, and most water inside the dock flowed off via the door. This continued till the lower, watertight part, of the door started to get above water. Next the communication between the compartments and the inside of the dock was opened, so the pumps could pump out the remaining water.
202: 433:. On the surface, the seams were caulked shut. A third layer of 31-cm-thick planks was laid on top of this, in the same direction as the pines of the first layer. Water that came between these layers was led to the pumps, so it would not make the floor of the dock wet. On top of the first layer, was placed a watertight rectangle of 30 cm wide, which protected the 2nd and 3rd layers. 437:
rough. On the inside of the dock these Narva beams went up from the floor with angle of about 56 degrees. This is how the water 'chests' were formed. Near the stern of the dock the diagonal beams were made somewhat thicker and made of oak. Up till about 1 m above the raft, the dock was made watertight with 20 cm thick planks. Further above, the planks were made of

This was of course especially the case in Amsterdam, where most of the ships sailing to the Indies belonged. This is how people in Amsterdam got the idea to create a facility for repairing ships without 551:, belonging to J.P. Janette Walen. According to Le Comte it was of 39.6 m length, 11 m beam and 3.6 m draught and about 800 tons. Others had 39.63 m by 10.76 m by 3.40 m and 1,000 tons. Again others had 140 Amsterdam feet by 38 and 12 Amsterdam feet, and 1,000 tons. The tons mentioned here were indeed Dutch weight tons, i.e. metric 473:
The height of the water above the raft, that the door had to keep out was not that much. For the average big Dutch ship of 600-ton displacement, it was only 21 cm above the floor of the dock. For smaller ships, the door could even be reopened after they had been lifted. For contemporary frigates

The Reederij der Drijvende Droogdokken would go into decline for several reasons. The primary reason was that the Oosterdok, where the company had three of her dry docks, went into decline from the mid-1870s. In 1874 a railway bridge had been constructed over its entrance. In spite of all insurances,

The dock, or rather the raft, was brought below the waterline by adding ballast to the sides. I.e. in the water compartments. After a ship had been brought into the dock, the door was closed. Next, the communication between the outside water and the compartments was closed off, and the communication

On the inside, the sides or chests were divided into four compartments each. In the bow was a box called "pump head" where pumps were placed at 2.40 m above the floor of the dock. Water could be pumped out of the rear compartments separately. Water could flow from the compartments into the dock and

Wooden floating dry docks were very different from the later floating iron dry docks. The main difference is that wooden drydocks were basically rafts that were lowered by pumping water in and out of the superstructure on the sides. Once the sides were empty the natural flotation power of the raft

According to Le Comte, the length of the first Amsterdam dock was 170 Amsterdam feet, or 48.132 m. Beam was 66 Amsterdam feet 18.687 m on the outside. Depth of hold was 22 Amsterdam feet 6.228 m. The raft was 1.132 m high, making that the whole dock had a draft of 56.6 cm
436:
From the outside of the raft the sides went up straight. For this Narva beams of 28 by 30 cm were used (Dutch: Nerva Balken), obviously a special kind of wood. On the outside these were straightened in order to be able to attach the planks on the exterior. On the inside these beams were left

The three dry docks in the Oosterdok were bought by H. Schutte, who would continue the business for some time. The price was 24,900 guilders. On 20 March 1902 he founded the public company De Droogdokken in het Oosterdok NV, with a capital of only 50,000 guilders. In 1919 Hera owned the company,

The first Amsterdam dock was immediately successful. From 23 November 1842 till October 1843, it serviced 64 ships. On average these measured 600 tons, but there were some of over 1,000 tons. Ship owners were surprised and pleased by its flexibility, which meant that out of shape keels could be

On 8 March 1889 a proposal for liquidation was brought forward in the meeting of shareholders. On 16 June 1890 the company auctioned its dry dock in the Westerdok for break up. In 1891 112 ships were docked in the three remaining dry docks. In 1892, this was 102. On 6 January 1902 Reederij der

visited Amsterdam in 1843 to see the dock in action. They then ordered Diets to supply the wood for a floating dry dock of 212 Amsterdam feet (28.3133 cm) length (60 m). Soon there was a rumor that the shipping magnates that operated the Amsterdam drydock would operate an equivalent
324:. Diets had to make a choice between either buying the plans unseen for 12,000 guilders, excluding the patent cost, or to have Cushman request the patent for himself. Diets decided to take the risk. On 16 December 1841 the invention was patented in the Netherlands by John S. Gilbert, 613:(394 ton), trading to the north, made a remarkable report. In October 1842 he sailed from New York to Amsterdam, when he got hit by a storm. It smashed all deck houses, and in the end some seams opened by more than 0.5 cm, and the ship became leaky. From 5 to 15 January 1843 390:
After the liquidation of Hera, the shareholders of Droogdokken in het Oosterdok NV, had to decide about their company. On 27 August 1926 there was an extraordinary meeting of shareholders of Droogdokken in het Oosterdok NV. On 21 December 1927 the company was in liquidation.

in 1876, the ships that visited Amsterdam became bigger. These could not pass the Oosterdok Lock while loaded. The third reason for the decline was that competing companies invested in dry docks on the IJ, outside the wet docks. These were also able to handle the big ships.

In March 1951 somebody visited the Amsterdamsche Droogdok Maatschappij, and saw the oldest dock of the ADM, the wooden dry dock that would become 75 years old in 1952. It meant that this dock dated from 1877, and was not one of the first four wooden dry docks.
