Detailed Solution

The purpose of the water tank of Lothal served as a dockyard.
The city of Lothal is located beside a tributary of the river Sabarmati in Gujarat. It is close to the Gulf of Khambhat. The nearby areas of Lothal had raw materials such as semi-precious stones. Lothal became a prominent centre for making objects using stone, shells, and metal. There was also a storehouse in the city. Archaeologists have found many seals and sealings (the impression of seals on clay) in the Lothal storehouse. Archaeologists have also found an enormous tank at Lothal that might have been a dockyard for boats and ships from overseas and inland river channels for loading and unloading goods.
