  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...
