There is a need for inexpensive readily demountable docks for use on rivers, bays and ocean front properties. The present invention is a floating dock (10) comprising a plurality of elongated, co-parallel buoyant pontoons (26) arranged longitudinally of the dock (10). Deck structure (30) overlies the pontoons (26) and is in direct contact with the pontoons (26). The deck structure (30) is secured to the pontoons (26) by attachment pins (62). Structure for connecting the dock to anchoring structure (18) is also provided. Each pontoon (26) comprises a water-impervious foamed polymeric material having a density and volume preselected to buoyantly support the deck structure (30) and the design load imposed thereon above water level. Structure (84) is also provided for joining the floating dock (10) of the invention to another similar floating dock (10) or to a floating gangway (24). |
