I always imagined these ships were built on a slipway along side a river or bay outdoors with scaffolding all around the ship. This is may be the case BUT not always ships as far back as 1800 were built indoors in a ship house these houses were as large as 300 X 100 X 110 feet, huge buildings.
does anyone have historic examples of a ship house?
I wonder how these houses can have a clear span from side to side of over 80 feet without interior supports
here you can see the ship houses
