Dry dock at Honolulu debated as costly venture
The October 22 1896 issue argues a traditional graving dock would cost two to three million dollars and may prove unprofitable given Honolulu ship traffic. It favors a floating or hydraulic lifting dock, noting limited Pacific traffic and uncertain offshore orders. Estimated cost: one fifth to three quarters of a million dollars depending on design and capacity. The piece weighs public versus private funding and feasibility before proceeding.
