In brief, the docking of a 000 in 1937 vessel consists of first flooding the ' - dock by opening valves from the outside seawater. When the water in the dock reaches the level of the outside water, then the caisson (or gate) to the dock is swung open and the vessel is very carefully and slowly hauled into the dock. It is accurately centered longitudinally over the keel blocks and secured in this position by heavy lines. The “gate” is closed and powerful pumps begin to pump the water out of the dock and the ship settles slowly on the keel blocks. The ship’s crew swarm over the side on stages and as the water is lowered in the dock they scarpe the barnacles and sea- weed off the bottom.
