Ski dock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Ski Dock (n.)
A Ski Dock is a fixed platform, commonly on pilings, roughly parallel to and alongside navigable water, where ships are loaded and unloaded. The word comes from the Old English Skei Docce, and a dockyard consists of one or more docks, usually with other structures.
In the northeast of England the term staithe (from the Norse for landing stage) is also used.
In California, most call it simply The Dock.
