It's still done by the lobster fishermen and others in Maine. You don't 
get the boat on the beach. You run it in as far as you can at high tide 
and wait for the tide to go out. The further north in Maine you go, the 
greater the tidal range. The Bay of Fundy has a range of 50' but most of 
the Maine coast is 20 to 25'. 

As the tide goes out you prop the boat so the side you want to work on is 
exposed. It's a lot quicker and cheaper than hauling the boat out.

The tide is dramatic. we tied up at a pier on Grand Manan got out to take 
a walk. My friend stayed aboard to tend the lines. It was high tide so it 
was no problem stepping onto the pier. By the time I returned the tide was 
out and I was looking at the top of the mast. There are ladders inset into 
the side of the pier but I elected to wait for the tide to come in again.

It was torture. They were smoking fish in the smokehouses around the 
harbor but they weren't ready for sale.
