A Draw Dock is usually a narrow inlet in a river bank, sometimes lined, sometimes not, into which boats of reasonable size may be drawn for repair.[1][2]

Some draw docks, such as the one on the right bank of the Thames at Raven's Ait in Surbiton, are simply wide slipways, others have gates, and boats float into them.
