Hickory dickory dock
The crane lifted the block
The clock struck one
The float was almost done
Hickory dickory dock
(Apologies to the prolific poet Anonymous for playing with her words.) Here you see a sign of the times: Brooklin’s floating dock system being re-installed yesterday in Naskeag Harbor next to the Town Dock. The expeditious installation by A.H. Marine, Inc., was finished by afternoon.
The float system was first installed last May and then taken ashore for the winter, as likely will happen this year. The system provides a needed area for tying up the small boats used by lobster fishermen to get to and from their vessels in the Harbor as well as for tying up the boats of visitors.
