Dry Dock (historic site)

Dry Dock is a historic site featuring a large, enclosed basin used for repairing and maintaining ships. It is designed to be emptied of water, allowing workers to access the hulls below the waterline safely. This method has been essential for ship repairs since the 19th century, making dry docks vital to naval and commercial maritime operations. The site often includes historic structures and remains that showcase engineering advancements from earlier eras. It serves as a reminder of maritime history and technological progress, and many are preserved as museums or landmarks to honor their significance in naval architecture and shipbuilding.
