 West of the dry dock, a container port was developed from 1969–1997 in response to the increased use of containers.At the Ocean Dock, the Art Deco Ocean Terminal opened in 1950 to provide shore facilities for the "Queens" and other Atlantic liners.These included an interior finished in blond burr woods, waiting rooms, baggage areas, spectator galleries, press rooms for journalists and three power-operated, telescoping gangways.
