A dry-dock is where boats and ships are built, and where they are placed when they go in for refit. A dry-dock allows workers to access various components affixed to the outer hull below the waterline. It also allows them to clear the hull of micro organisms which slow the ship down when underway. Special paints are applied to protect the hull until its next refit.

How did the caisson gate open on the Thompson drydock?
The caisson gate on the Thompson drydock opened through a system of buoyancy and counterweights. When the drydock was flooded, the caisson, which was sealed at the entrance, would float up slightly, allowing for the opening mechanism to be engaged. This process would typically involve releasing water from the drydock, lowering the water level, and allowing the gate to swing open. The design ensured that the caisson sealed tightly when submerged, preventing water from entering the drydock while it was in use.
