    I think you’re correct, and the “shipyard” here is what’s known as “group therapy”. Group therapy is depicted in fight club, and it was often declared by the person running it when they had “a new person arrive to the group”, or when someone was “leaving the group”, making it seem like a notable event (much like a ship’s maiden voyage is a notable event).
