The Dockyard and Engine Works are situated northward of the Wada-Misaki Lighthouse at the entrance of the Harbour of Kobe, and there is a sheltered basin on the eastern side, formed by a breakwater more than 1,000 feet in length in which No. 1 and No. 2 Floating Docks are securely moored near the breakwater. Vessels under repairs and equipments can be also moored at a quay-wall along the basin.
