Many of the Dockyard buildings ( most of which were of timber construction ) were subsequently demolished or destroyed ( some in the 1907 Kingston earthquake , others by Hurricane Charlie in 1951 ) . A few remain in place , however , including the Naval Hospital complex , some of the steam engineering buildings and a set of officers ' houses . There is also a slipway , completed as late as 1904 , which ( with its accompanying sheds ) was designed for housing and launching torpedo boats , stationed there for the Yard 's protection . In 2014 , it was announced that some of the Historic Naval Hospital buildings would be restored to house a museum as part of a broader Port Royal Heritage Tourism Project
