Port Orford Dolly Dock

This is just a little oddity Jack told me about. Randy went to Port Orford to look for the port. He'd been there once before but hadn't seen the port. I mean it's on the coast, there should be docks and ships and boats and stuff. He found it eventually but it's not like your regular port. They have a big concrete "dock", but the boats don't tie up to it, they sit on top of it.


Picture stolen from Gumbo & Squeal (not their real names). I would have asked for permission, but nobody has ever acknowledged any of my previous requests, so I have given up trying to communicate.

What the Heck!
How would boats float or travel?
They would definitely need a lifter or else the bottom of the boat will be damaged.

Boats are equipped with lifting eyes. They and are parked on heavy duty four wheel trailers. The yellow cranes perched on the edge of seawall lift them in and out of the water.
