"Loading area by the water in a harbor town" answer

The answer for Tuesday's puzzle is:

DOCK

The rest of the ladder at the top of the page stays hidden until you tap a rung, so you can check this word without giving away the others.

Why DOCK fits

If you've already solved SOCK, change its first letter from S to D. The bottom word, DECK, unlocks once the middle rungs are in order, and it differs from DOCK only in the second letter, E instead of O.
