A NATURAL DRY DOCK.
One Has Reeu In Use I'm Maine for
Some Time.

From the Engineering News.
We are indebted to T Hodsson of Bed
ford, province of Quebec. for a description
of natural dry dock and the manner in
which it has been utilized. This dock is on
the Maine side of the st, CroiX river be-
tweer Calais and Passamaquoddy bay. At
this point small brook has cut a channel
of sufficient width through the river bank
down TO about the level Of low tide, the
difference in tide levels at this place being
nearly twenty-five feet.
AS there a considerable amount of
shipping owned in this neighborhood and
docking facilities were absent, some in
genous Yankee concluded that he would
utilize the cut made by the small stream,
especially as the high range of tide provid-
ed all the appliances needed to fill and
empty the dry dock. Starting several hun
dred feet from the river, on the small
tributary, a cut was made across the bed
of the stream, extending into each bank
and ten-foot wall of stone laid in cement
was built. At the center opening the top
of this wall was about on the level of the
bed of the stream; but at the sides ii eX-
tended above the highest tides. Sils were
laid in the opening and a pair of ordinary
lock gates We're put in place, opening out
ward. A pipe controlled by a valve was
laid in the center wall level with the stream
bed, and carried off any water intercepted
by the low wall and the sills, and a ditch,
cut above the level of high tide provided
an outlet for the mall amount of water
usually coming ,to%n the brook channel
a few well-bedded cross timbers for sup
porting the keel of the vessel completed
this serviceable dry dock
The operation of the dock was very SIM
pie. The vessel came up the river on the
hood tide and was hauled into the dock
and held in position over the keel blocks
the tide ran out. AS the water level
lowered shores from the banks kept the
vessel upright, and these are found suf-
ficient for the class of vessel using this
dock. When the tides had run out the
gates were shut and the water was kept
out until repairs were completed. To un-
dock the ship the gates can be opened at
low tide and the water thus admitted on
the rise of tide will float the vessel, ana
she can pass out and down stream on the
ebb tide. This dock has been in successful
operation for some years, and is an inter
esting example of the utilization of exist
ing natural conditions for securing a much
needed convenience.
