Barry No 2 Dock, opened on September 10, 1898.
It opened without any formal ceremony and the first boat to enter was the tug boat Moselle.
The first sailing vessel to enter was a four mast sailing ship Drumalis from Liverpool.
Probably one of the most impressive sights in Dock No 2 was the Japanese troop ship Sanuki Maru
in 1900, with a crew of 116 and 3,792 tons, it took on board 3,000 tons of Welsh coal supplied
by the Glamorgan Coal Company.
During its brief stay in Barry hundreds visited the vessel.
