When a ship is laid down, that means the first parts of the keel are placed on the slipway (or drydock) where the ship is to be built. Laying down is usually the first step in construction of a ship. When ships were first constructed, keels were actual pieces of wood or metal that ran the length of the ship and that the frames of the ships were fitted to. Keels could be seen on the outside of a ships hull and were easy to identify. Now, the keels are usually between the double bottoms of a ship and are invisible unless viewed from inside a ship double hull.
