The dates given here are the dates that the dry dock is shown in historical records and is not a true beginning or ending date.  Some dry docks were shown on maps long after they were abandoned.  Names associated with the property are also not necessarily the proprietors of the dock, and include names of property owners as shown on earlier or later maps .  In some cases the name of the present Village as well as the surrounding Town are referenced as the village might not have been incorporated at the time the the dry dock was in operation.  I refrained from calling the dry docks by their common name as the proprietors are often not known, but they also changed, thus I refer to them by the community in which they are located = Tanner's well known dry dock is here called Port Byron (new).  Minor Civil Division (MCD) designation will be added as soon as I find the list of NY numbers.

Buffalo Dry Docks
Three dry docks were found in a cursory examination of the maps and records for Buffalo.  While none were seen on the larger Holmes Hutchinson (1830s) or the Schillner series (1896) singular sources did have clues on three different docks.  Time did not permit the identification of the location to the degree exercised in the other Erie Canal Dry Docks, indeed two of the three Buffalo dry docks appear to be situated on other canals than the Erie Canal.  They would be located within the Buffalo NW USGS 7.5' quadrangle

1):  The undated Blueline map Y-764 shows a long basin with constricted neck running perpendicular to the canal and lying between the canal and the Niagara River at the end of Garfield Street (Niagara Street parallells the canal).  The property seems to be owned by the Pascal P. Pratt Estate, and has several buildings thereon.  The Erie Rail Road crosses between the dock and the river and crosses over the canal just tot he north.

2):  Structure Book 79, page 2, dated 1868, shows a dry dock with mitred gate on the west side of "Buffalo Harbor" and between the harbor and the Blackwell Canal.  This is about 6 km (4 mi) south of the above dock.  A long narrow basin is labelled as a "Marine Railway" and it is presumed that boats could be pulled out of the water at that place.  The large Ohio Basin lies on the east side of the canal opposite the dry dock, and Washington Square lies along Ohio Street which runs betwen the Ohio Basin and the canal.

3):  Structure Book 79, page 7, dated 1868, also shows a third dry dock on the east side of an unmarked water channel.  The property has several buildings and is labelled "E.D. Efner" or E.D. Elmer" and is located between Fourth Street and the water channel and Caroline Street and Virginia Street.  Prsently Lasalle park lies on the west side of the canal at this location, and is the shore of Lake Erie.  this location near the city center indicates that this dock was not on the Erie Canal.
