I found a great book in the base library on shore whaling stations of South Georgia the other day. So over the next few months I thought I would take pictures of the buildings and explain what they were used for. I am posing in front of the Plating shop. It was part of the ship repair yard for repairing and building the cookers and boilers in the plant and for reparing the catcher boats. The machinery required for handling large iron and steel plates are now in the elements surrounded by the remained of the walls. Sheet metal roller, stamping machine, metal plating machine, metal cutter, metal drilling machine, a crane and travelling hoist. This shop also had welding facilities – cutting edge technology in the era of whaling at Grytviken.
