Glasson Dock
The harbour at Glasson originally opened in 1787, following the demise of Lancaster as a port, and was at its height the largest port in the North West, importing cotton, sugar, spices and slaves from Africa and the Indies. Lancaster Canal was important in affording swift distribution of cargo landed at the port into the heart of industrial Lancashire. Glasson is still a thriving port handling over 150,000 tonnes of cargo annually. Glasson Dock, also known as Glasson, is a village in Lancashire, England, south of Lancaster at the mouth of the River Lune. The River Lune up to the dock entrance contains very little water at low tide, and the channel varies its course from time to time. As you can see with this boat, it must have got there on water, I wonder if it will get out.
