In 2015, it was registered as a World Heritage Site as one of the 23 assets that make up the "Sites of Japan's Meiji Industrial Revolution: Iron and Steel Manufacturing, Shipbuilding, and Coal Industries."
Because the shape of the slide (which no longer exists) on which ships were lifted up looked like an abacus, it was popularly known as the ``Solo Bandock''.

Glover, and in December 1868, a set of towing equipment was ordered from England. Completed on.

What remains today is the towing shed, towing machinery, tracks, stone walls, etc., and many of the Amakusa stone walls on both banks remain as they were originally, making them extremely valuable as Japan's first Western-style ship cradle. Thing.
