Boat docks are facilities that occur in villages, towns, cities and at places on the map where a road intersects with a semi-navigable or navigable river, when the hex includes a hammer. In structure, they're small wooden platforms built on wooden pilings, made to assist the loading and unloading of boats on rivers and lakes. Docks range between 6 and 12 ft. in width and are anywhere between 8 and 30 ft. long. When built on a river, the dock runs parallel along the shore line; on a lake, they usually extend perpendicular to the shore, into water that's no more than 12 ft. deep. Docks service boats with a low draught. For proper loading and unloading, ships require a quay.
