A '''draw dock''' (also '''draw-dock''') is a creek or inlet in a navigable river bank, sometimes lined, sometimes not, into which boats or barges  may be drawn for repair or to land cargoes.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://thesaurus.english-heritage.org.uk/thesaurus_term.asp?thes_no=1&term_no=91791 |title=English heritage Online Thesaurus |accessdate=2008-04-01 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930222543/http://thesaurus.english-heritage.org.uk/thesaurus_term.asp?thes_no=1&term_no=91791 |archivedate=2007-09-30 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pbase.com/john_cooper/image/56555905 |title=High Tide Line at Fulham Draw Dock |publisher=John Cooper |accessdate=2008-04-01}}</ref><ref>Oxford Engkish Dictionary Online, 'Draw-dock'.</ref>
