Dubai Drydock as it used to be in around 1975

In 1973 Dubai Drydocks Company awarded a construction contract to Taylor Woodrow and Costains - both UK Construction Companies. They kept a film record of Drydocks' construction. This film was not shown publicly. It was used to impress potential Clients.

Clip is from a video recording of a recent film showing of the recovered and restored film. Occasionally the audience gets between film projector and film screen! Watch the new (then) Hatta Road, Foden Trucks with 20 ton rock loads and Dubai's first offshore artificial island built thirty years before Palm Island!

Keep an eye open for the man on a Donkey!
