Slips (waterfront spaces)

Scope note

Use for unoccupied, open water spaces set between adjacent piers or perpendicular to landing places, especially those spaces which can accommodate only one vessel at a time; when such spaces are alongside land places, use "berths (waterfront spaces)." Use "docks" for open water spaces when occupied by vessels made fast to landing places.
