Former Pattern Shop / Shipyard History Museum, in Nagasaki
The Former Pattern Shop has been registered on UNESCO World Heritage
as Sites of Japan’s Meiji Industrial Revolution. The Former Pattern Shop was built in
1898 to produce wooden patterns for castings and is the oldest factory building in the
shipyard. It is a two-storied brick building with a timber roof truss. There is a U-shaped
rail on the ceiling to transport materials. The building was refurbished to the Shipyard
History Museum in 1985 and is open to the public.
