Dry docks are used to repair canal boats. Once a boat enters, water is drained from the chamber so that work can be done on the bottom of the boat. You can see a restored dry dock at the Chittenango Landing Canal Boat Museum in central New York. The NYS Canal Corporation uses dry docks in Waterford, Lyons, and Lockport to repair and store its working vessels.
