dockings
Vessels reaching port
Dockings is the plural of docking, which refers to instances of bringing a vessel into a dock or joining two things together.
Spacecraft perform dockings when they connect in orbit: The station has hosted over fifty dockings since its launch.
In computing, dockings occur when laptops connect to docking stations.
The term also covers the controversial practice of surgically shortening an animal's tail, typically done to puppies of certain breeds.
