There is a picture somewhere, made by Dario IIRC, that represent the dragonship as dragon-shaped rather than dino-shaped. I would rather describe it as a tylosaur, i.e. a short-necked water dinosaur with big flippers.

I think the waertagi would never drag one of their ships ashore in a potentially unfriendly harbor, and since they are despised and distrusted by almost everyone they will consider any harbor as unfriendly.
In fact I prefer option 1, or the wet dock, too.

Hmmm, since we have a map of pre-closing Brithos now, is it possible to locate this drydock there? The dock was probably no longer used in the Second Age, but anything big enough to host a dragonship should leave a big ruin behind!
