Beyond the basin is the larger inner dock called the Bassin de Penhoët, which can accommodate ships up to 10,000 tons. There is also an old entrance to the Bassin de St Nazaire located midway along the Bassin de St Nazaire. Immediately upstream of this lies the Normandie dry dock, situated between the Bassin de St Nazaire and the Loire, with its southern end giving on to the Loire and the nothern end facing in to the Bassin de Penhoët. Built to house the ocean liner , this dock was the largest dry dock in the world when it was completed in 1932. The "Old Mole" jetty juts into the Loire halfway between the southern pier of the Avant Port and the old entrance into the basin.
