Aplmac Posted February 9, 2021 Named the Careenage because this was where a bunch of hull maintenance used to go down, back in the day! And here's what it looked like. Only the rich ship-owners could afford proper dry dock. The rest of us had to strip her down and heel her over so we could process one side of the hull - then turn her around and do the other half. Simple, but effective. Link to comment
Aplmac Posted February 9, 2021 Well-heeled ship owners could afford Blackwood's Dock on the Southern side of the inlet. Link to comment
