The drawing pairs a plan of a dry dock with an elevation of the naval arsenal at the Washington Navy Yard, a combination that shows both the layout of the ship-repair basin and the face of the building beside it. The yard, founded in 1799 on the Anacostia River waterfront, was among the first established by the young United States Navy and grew into a center for shipbuilding, repair, and ordnance manufacture. Plan and elevation sheets like this one were how engineers and officials in the period communicated construction decisions, so the drawing is a useful record of how the yard was meant to work. Its inclusion in the Architecture, Engineering and Design drawings collection places it among the technical documents that preserve the look of federal industrial sites.
