	Process: Dry Docking and Launching
		In dry docking, a ship is removed from the water to enable work to be performed on the exterior part of the ship below the waterline.
		To prepare the dry dock, keel blocks are set into position and lines and men to handle the vessel are readied.
		Injuries, fatalities associated with overturning ship during dry docking and launching operations - catastrophic accidents are unlikely, provided that appropriate procedures are followed.

	Dan Weiskotten's Dry Docks of the Erie Canal 1817-1920
		One dry dock (that at Sprakers) was found not to have a basin at all but was instead, apparently, a level area along the canal onto which boats were pulled by way of a ramp or other such device up on to dry ground so that the boat could be repaired.
		The Chittenango Landing dry dock, which is being reconstructed for the museum, is built on very level ground and thus it was necessary for the owners to run an open ditch, 15 feet deep, nearly 2,000 feet to the nearby creek but this situation and a few others are rare exceptions.
		Docking price seems to have had nothing to do with the amount of work done or the time for which the bay was occupied, as the most expensive job seen, costing $1,333.62, was only charged $3.00 for docking.
