Slip No 1, known as The Covered Slip, is a historic ship construction and maintenance facility located within the South Yard of Devonport Dockyard in Devon. Built in the early nineteenth century, it represents a significant development in naval engineering and dockyard infrastructure during the period of British naval expansion. The slip is distinguished by its covered design, which provided protection for vessels undergoing construction or repair and represented an advancement in dockyard technology. The structure remains an important surviving example of Regency-era naval architecture and continues to testify to Devonport's role as one of Britain's principal naval establishments.
