A [[Greece|Greek]] harbor such as [[Munychia]] contained a series of shipsheds, arranged on the shore or encircling a cove. Each shed was built to accommodate a [[Ship|warship]] on dry ground, but it was also used to build ships and maintain them. The ships were pulled from / into the water with ropes and on wooden planks. The warships required a methodical overhaul in dry docks. This was done during the winter months, as there was no navigation during this period. The architecture of the sheds - with their relatively low roofs - meant that the ships were dismasted for their overhauls. The first ship sheds were built in the 6th century BCE. and we know that [[Pericles]] built a number of them for a sum of 1000 talents, which would represent about 150 to 250 million US dollars today. Naval inventories reveal there were 372 shipsheds in the three harbors of the [[Piraeus]] during the 4th century BCE.
