This plan, showing the features that the Cartagena dockyard was required to have, is attributed to the Marquis of La Victoria and to the engineer Sebastián Feringán. Both men were key figures in construction of the dockyard, which was built between 1732 and 1782.After the Treaty of Utrecht was signed in 1713, one of the main provisions that Philip V introduced to make improvements to the Spanish Navy was the building of dockyards in Ferrol, Cádiz, Cartagena, and later Havana. The construction of thesedockyards, which were complex but essential structures for the building and maintenance of new ships, brought about extensive changes to the cities in which they were built and represented an unprecedented challenge for the engineers tasked with their design.
