Wiores are the gnat hulks of timber
which hold a vessel upright in drjdoek
A drydock does not u-iuill.v open

often there is a wet dock between
The reasons are that a vessel can then
be docked at any stale of the tide and
also that there Is less pressure on I lie

The actual process of docking In drv
dock Is simple enough The drydock
Is filled with water, the ship Is DoateJ
in. the gates close behind her; then tin-
water Is pumped nut by means of pow
erful steam pumps
Along the bottom of the dock runs in
a straight line a row of keel bloi ka on
which the keel of the raeael rests. As
the water is pumped away an aruiy of
workmen Ox the shores In position.
This Is a task wbk li requires raal
