El Dique shipyard is located in Aramar, next to Luanco. The shipbuilding industry, responsible for the handcrafted construction of boats, had a huge importance in this area of Asturias, whose neighbors lived devoted to the sea.
Founded in the 19th century, the shipyard occupies a total area of 1,600 square meters and are used to build vessels weighing less than forty tons. It is equipped with a small port to carry out maintenance tasks right next to the ships. The first of the two buildings in the shipyard housed the workshop, offices and archives. The second one stored auxiliary machinery. The shipyard also has slipways to move boats to the water.
The buildings, mostly single-story, are covered with a gabled roof built using flat tiles. After the closure of the shipyards, the facility was completely neglected.
