If it is/was/were a ship, what word should I use? Also, please check my question. Thanks.

dock

You can also use 'call' for ships, planes and trains.

Cruise liners have 'ports of call' where they dock for a short time to allow passengers to take shore excursions.

(I prefer 'If it were...' in your question, but the others are also possible.)
