A floating dry dock used to rise ship from the ocean for maintenance. This dry dock was bought from the UK where it was used by the military for submarines. While it was being towed across the Atlantic Ocean it got loose and it took couple of attempts to hook it back to the ship wich was towing the dry dock.
