Dry Docks Corporation of London Ltd , shipbuilders, repairers and marine engineers

The Dry Docks Corporation of London Ltd, shipbuilders, repairers and marine engineers, was formed in 1886 to amalgamate 28 London graving docks and thereby create a monopoly. One of the Corporation's founding directors was John Denison Pender who had previously become the owner of the West India Graving Dock, latterly through the West India Graving Dock Company registered in 1883. The lease of the West India Dock Graving Dock was transferred to the new company. Business was then slack, however, and the Dry Docks Corporation was voluntarily wound up in June 1888. The Corporation was based at 165 Fenchurch Street.
