Former Pattern Shop / Shipyard History Museum, in Nagasaki

 

This site is registered on UNESCO World Heritage as Japan’s Meiji Industrial

Revolution site in 2015.

 The Former Pattern Shop was built in 1898 to produce wooden patterns for castings

and is the oldest factory building in the shipyard. It is a two-storied brick building with

a timber roof truss. There is a U-shaped rail on the ceiling to transport materials.

The building was refurbished to the Shipyard History Museum in 1985 and is open

to the public.
