  Fascinating to see the delicate alignment of blocks under the keel and then the baulks of timber to hold her upright.

  According to saveindustrialbrooklyn.org/red_hook.html the dry dock, in Brooklyn, NY, was filled in recently and is the parking lot for the Brooklyn IKEA. See the parking lot at www.google.com/maps/@40.6717748,-74.0131385,406m/data=!3m... History of the shipyard is at www.shipbuildinghistory.com/history/shipyards/5small/inac...

  Very similar to www.navsource.org/archives/12/1217998115.jpg "In Drydock No. 3 at the New York Navy Yard while undergoing repairs after her 1 January 1919 grounding off Fire Island. She was in drydock from 11 February to 10 May 1919. Note that the ship's armament has been removed. She has been partially repainted, but some of her World War I "dazzle" camouflage pattern is still visible on her forward superstructure.
