Opposite the Mast Pond is Boathouse 4. Boathouse 4 is the Historic Dockyard's only link with the 1930s rearmament period. It was the Dockyard's small boat building and repair facility. It played an important part in D Day preparations and experiments in the harbour in 3 man midget submarine tests. It was closely associated, in the 1950s and 60s with the repair of the Royal Yacht Britannia's small boats. It management was passed to Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust in the 1990s. It currently houses workshops and offices and is also used for major events held in the Historic Dockyard.
