Ample depth is to be found in the approaches so that there is no danger of grounding, even for the largest vessels. The con- struction of the big dock called for 112,000 cu. ft. of concrete and 236,000 cu. ft. of granite taken from the Index quarries in this state. For keel blocks, 400,000 ft. of Australian tallow wood was imported and a like amount of Virginia white oak was used. In making ready for the actual construc- tion work, 60,000 cu. yds. of earth were dredged and the earth was re- moved 8 ft. below the bottom of the dock. The concrete is carried to a depth of 17 ft. on the 'bottom and tapers to 12 ft. on the sides: At the trials, navy officials were particularly pleased at the showing made by the pumps, which emptied the basin in 1 hour and 10 minutes, which was 20 minutes less than was expected. The basin can hold 35,000, 000 gallons of water. The pump equipment has proved ample for any demand that may be made upon it. Water can be emptied at the rate of 264,000 gallons per minute. In addi- tion to the main pumps, two smaller pumps are in service to keep the basin free of seepage.
