From the earliest days of shipbuilding the attention of engineers has been directed to the means by which vessels can be built, repaired, cleaned, painted and examined in the dry; and, as the size of ships increases, various methods besides the use of Dry Docks have been adopted from time to time for effecting this, according to the circumstances of the case, such as by means of: Graving bards, Gridirons, Building slips and launching ways, Patent slips, Hydraulic lifts, Fixed pontoons, Floating pontoon docks.
