Definition
The fee charged for careening a ship (tipping it on its side to clean and repair the hull), or the place where this work is done.
Etymology
From careen (to tip a ship on its side) + -age (suffix forming nouns of action or process). Careen comes from French carène, from Latin carina (keel, hull of a ship).
Kelly Says
Before modern dry docks, careening was incredibly dangerous—the entire ship could slip and crush workers, so sailors developed complex rope systems and relied on tide timing to keep heavy wooden ships stable while suspended.
