Floating Docks -- A sectional box type of floating dock, designed to lift ships up to 52 tons displacement. It is now owned by the Admiralty. The overall length is 859 ft 6 inches. The dock is electrically operated with electricity supplied from the shore and there are two electric travelling cranes. British yards have led in the construction of floating docks, and have built the majority in existence in all parts of the world. Among advantages of floating docks compared with ordinary dry docks are their mobility, which is particularly useful in time of war, since they can be moved wherever the strategic position requires. September 13, 1951.
