Submarine hull sections beneath the shipyard gantries

At the edge of the water lies a row of massive rounded hull sections, each a short length of a vessel with an opened end, set side by side on the slip; above them rises the steel lattice of the building gantries, and beams and debris lie strewn in front, a buoy floating in the water. The source calls them U-boat sections. In the last year of the war Hamburg yards assembled submarines from prefabricated sections; after the surrender the remaining sections were broken up.
