Vittoria Dock is a dock in Birkenhead, Wirral Peninsula, England. It was built between 1905 and 1909 within the Great Float. ==The name ''Vittoria''== The dock is named after the Battle of Vittoria, fought on 21 June 1813 and was designed by A.G.Lyster. An alternative view is that Vittoria Dock has derived its name as a tribute to the first ship to circumnavigate the globe, Magellan's ''Vittoria''. However, Magellan's ship was named after the church of ''Santa María de la Victoria de Triana'', therefore, this Vittoria naming may be questioned. Vittoria Dock is sometimes incorrectly quoted as 'Victoria Dock', thought in reference to Queen Victoria. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vittoria Dock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
