A method of building ships in which predetermined blocks of the hull are fabricated remotely and are transported to dockside at an elevated level. The blocks are displaced to overlie the dock bottom and are rotated downwardly onto a conveyor on the dock bottom and are mounted on the conveyor by means of a buffer plate which is adjustable on the conveyor. The block is then displaced into position adjoining other hull blocks on the dock bottom and is adjusted in position to be united with the other hull blocks by means of the adjustable buffer plate.
