Navy Yard's New Dry Dock Becomes Operational
The Brooklyn Navy Yard completed Dry Dock No. 2 by placing a caisson in a rebuilt masonry structure at a cost near 300000 dollars, well under the 600000 dollar appropriation. The fourteen month project used shoring and cross-timbering to seal water pressure while surrounding the old timber dock. A test showed small water seepage through concrete pores, not leaks, as the dock emptied. The new dock will accommodate larger ships.
