The Air Force scow is lowered into the water.
It has to be expensive to sink barges this way.
This 110 ft barge was sunk the old-fashioned way back in 1999.
The "Piano Scow" is very small and very full of holes
"Ocean Prince"

The "Ocean Prince" drydock (above) was sunk in 1986 and is well-attested. New York has photos of a clearly different drydock, which they place here, but I believe is actually at Shinnecock, and I have placed it there.
