The tides are just incredible in the Bay of Fundy. It amazes me how these wooden fishing boats held up to twice daily grounding out on the rocks in little harbors like Alma.

The floor of the 'dry dock' is lined with keel blocks, which in this case, are mounted on a special series of 'train' bogies, specific to that ship's hull lines, and are so arranged such that they can bear the weight of the ship.
This repair yard is based on the synchrolift system, whereby ships are raised and lowered in a single 'lock'. The wheeled cradle which the ship and blocks are mounted on, enables the ship to be literally pulled and pushed along the railed repair yard to the desired position to carry out the work.
When the ship enters the dry dock lock, her centerline is first brought in line with the centerline of the keel blocks.

One from the archive... Been extremely busy with work lately and sadly not had much time for photography, not that the weather has been encouraging either.

... and I feel fine. (apologies to Mike Stipe & crew)
Still not convinced that the 'new' Hard Interchange will work - 10 bays in the all-too-familiar 'sawtooth' arrangement will leave not enough space for vehicles on layover - nor for coaches on breaks, and there seems to be no provision for Euro vehicles to drop their passengers off safely.
Time will tell, I guess ...

Here's a partial view of a submerged cradle in readiness for the next ship/boat to be hauled up on the slip. In this case, it is for a comparatively small Guardia Civil Patrol boat.
The blue and white flag on the pole in the foreground is attached to a railed cradle (on which the keel blocks are placed to support the ship in the correct position), in readiness for the next ship to be hauled onto the repair slip.
The flag indicates to the berthing master/pilot on the bridge of the approaching ship, where the submerged cradle is in relation to the starboard bow of the ship.
