I used to play in all that as a kid. The police and watchmen were forever chasing us out.
The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?
Save Liverpool Docks and Waterways - Click
Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
canals to view its modern museum describing
how it once was?

The Albert Dock warehouses were used, although the dock was not. It was difficult to erect roof top cranes as the warehouses were too close to the quays. The warehouses were designed to take cargo directly from the holds of sailing ships. When steam ships came about the dock and its quays were pretty well redundant as steam ships required the warehouses to be further back from the quays.
Cargo in sailing ships was in smaller containers: barrels, sacks, etc. Bulk cargoes were pretty well unknown in ocean going sailing vessels. Bulk cargo was scorned upon as it could shift capsizing the ship.

NEW signs and directions aim to help visitors to Albert Dock navigate their way around the tourist spots more easily. Read
I was down there yesterday, it was quite busy. It is surrounded my multimillion pound developments so it should all come together nicely with the Albert Dock in the middle of it all!
'Liverpool' ship. Taken fron the window on the 4th floor of the Maritime Museum. The best location for Mann Island/New Museum pics...if the windows are clean.
The Albert Dock has welcomed an extra 100,000 visitors a week since Liverpool One opened.
