Relative permanency OF Dry Docks.

TT is enormously supposed by some persons UNI
Il acquainted with the facts, that the improved
stone dry dock, formed by the combination Of
tonal floating dry-dock with a basin and railways,
is less permanent and durable than the old fashioned
stone dry-dock.
The mistake arises from not taking into consider
alton the fact that the pershabe parts Of the latter
plan are really about equal in expense to those OF
the former.
The two great wooden gates of the common stone
dock At Norfolk cost s76,U00; and the estimate of
their cost fora dock at New York is S76,754; (ses
doc. No l46, la session 2sh Congress p 81 and The
cost of the steam engines, pumps, wells, and engine
house Of the Charleslown dock ST. ,277 Sesame
doc, H. So that the cost Of the gates, engines,
pumps, &c. for the common stone dock is altogether
Sl54,03l; and these necessary fixtures are equally
pershable as the sectional floating dock with It's
engines and pumps, being made of the same mate
rails. Now il appears that this floating dock, with
its engines and pumps all complete for raising the
largest ship Of the line, costs only the sum OF slS5-
600, or less than $4,000 the cost Of the per-
ishable parts Of the common stone dock This
difference is more than counterbaanced by the fact
that the floating dock is constantly mostly sub
merged under water, and thereby rendered more
durable, whereas the gates of the common stone
dock are exposed alternately to air and water, and
thus rendered more perishahle The basin and rail-
ways which constitute the larger portion Of the
pcnse OF the improved plan built Of hewn stone
or foundations ofpiles, and are even more durable
than the walls and bottom of the common stone
Dock because not exposed, as the latter is, TO the
enormous upward pressure Of the water, or the
wash Of alternately emptying and filing, being kept
constantly filed with water.
These facts require only to be known-and they
can be ascerained by any one who who will take
the trouble refer to the document above mention
ed-to establish the fact of the equal permanency
and durability of the improved plan Of dock with
that of the common stone dry.dock now in use at
Norfolk and Charlestown.
