The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?

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?

Exactly. Where the canal link hit the Princes dock, why not just leave that part at full dock width/depth with berthing/mooring facilities alongside even. It was all already there at that point.
Princes half Tide Dock is to canal boat depths - only just been filled in. The river locks are inoperative and large vessels cannot enter the half tide dock to get into Princes Dock proper. So why have they deepened the dock at the Liver buildings end? Why go to all this expense of a deep under-dock canal lined with concrete walls?
Dredgers can't enter the docks so they can't be dredged. They can only be drained and excavated by road vehicles. They are landlocked.

Why the boats just couldn't have used the full dock at that point in their journey I don't know.
I can't quite figure out from the pics what they doing. It looks like it is to full dock depths.

Heres some photos i took at the weekend, in some places the canal tunnel now has its roof on. As you can see in the last photograph near the side of the 'Crowne Plaza' Hotel.
There is a liitle bit of good with the canal link .In the Waterloo Dock water levels have dropped and small islands are appearing making room for geese ,ducks,swans and various other birds to nest.Here`s a family of geese
going back to the dock after paddling in rain puddles all day today
