(Wet) Dock

Harbour or basin which is closed against the tidal range and which provides cargo-handling facilities for ships.


Note: In the U.S.A. the space between two piers which is not closed against the tidal range is also called a dock.




Please note that this is the term as it stands in the original IALA Dictionary edition (1970-1989)
