slipway:
Includes slipways on which a vessel , resting in a cradle on wheels, can be drawn out of the wwater for clenaing and repairs. In some American ports they are called «marine railways». The contrivance is also known as a «patent-slip».

When gates and side-walls exclude the water from the upper part of the slipway the contrivance is called a «slip-dock».

The word «slip» is applied to a paved causeway or «hard» extending from above high water to low water level on which small vessels may be hauled without the use of a cradle.

«Graving-slip» and «graving beach» are old terms for a «hard» or «slip», and a beach on which vessels are placed for examination and graving when the tide receded.
