History
The Mast pond and miniport in front of the building was dug out in 1665 by soldiers and Dutch prisoners of war who were paid 1 1/2 pennies a day although following complaints by unemployed townspeople the Dutch were dispatched to Portchester Castle and local labour hired in their place.
The pond is linked to Portsmouth Harbour by a tunnel which runs from its Western end underneath the main road and Boathouse 4. The Mast pond was used to store timbers to prevent them from seasoning unevenly or cracking before they were made into masts.
Tidal flow was partially controlled by a drop gate at the Western end of the tunnel. In 2000 hydraulic lock gates were installed to maintain the minimum level of water in the Mast pond to prevent Boathouse 6 from flooding at Spring tides.
Action Stations is a Grade 1 listed building which was built in 1840. The building was severely damaged by enemy action during World War II and this has provided an opportunity to incorporate an auditorium. This is conceived like the hull of a ship and set in dynamic juxtaposition to the cast iron frame.
