In this area there were many working boat yards, or docks, like this one, where boats were built and repaired. They were busy, cluttered places not unlike a modern scrap yard as it was common practice to break wooden boats, salvaging the ironwork.
Castlefields boat dock is typical of the many on the Black Country canal system of the period and is equipped to build new working craft and to repair those of iron or composite construction. The dock can accommodate three boats, drawn sideways out of the water by winches onto the slip. There are a number of different buildings on the boat dock each serving a specific purpose.
President on the opposite quay is a historic, steam-powered narrowboat, built in 1909 by Fellows Morton and Clayton (FMC) at their dock at Saltley, Birmingham, England. It is now owned by the Black Country Living Museum, where it is based. President is registered by National Historic Ships as part of the National Historic Fleet.
The 71 feet (22 m) long[1] President was constructed in 1909 at FMC's company dock in Saltley, and cost £600. She was registered on 23 June that year. Her riveted, wrought iron hull is shaped in the 'Josher' style, named for FMC director Joshua Fellows.
In 1925, the Ruston, Proctor and Company steam boiler and engine were replaced by a 15 hp Bolinder crude oil engine.
Ernest Thomas, a director of FMC, and a Walsall-based coal carrier, acquired the boat in 1946. She was sold to George and Matthews of Wolverhampton in 1948, but that year the UK's canals were nationalised and she finished her working days as part of British Waterways' northern maintenance fleet, on the Trent and Mersey, Macclesfield and Shropshire Union canals, from a base at Northwich.
President was bought by Nicholas Bostock and Malcolm Braine in 1973, as a derelict hull. They restored the hull and constructed a replica cabin and boiler room. A 1928 Muir and Findley "Scotch" return boiler, similar to that originally used, but operating at 100 PSI was acquired and fitted, as was a twin cylinder steam engine, originally used in a Thames launch. The boat returned to service in 1978.
President was purchased by the Black Country Living Museum in January 1983. The boiler was replaced by a Cochran dryback return flue boiler in 1990. A major refit took place from 2001–2003, including the provision of a new steam engine, pipework and cabin, plus major hull repairs.

Using the power for the next evening's road train, an Alabama & Gulf Coast yard crew is making a Saturday interchange run to the neighboring Terminal Railway Alabama State Docks yard. These former BNSF Dash 9s look pretty sharp in the G&W scheme, even if they elicit groans from much of the railfan masses. They're also back on home rails down here on the Gulf Coast of Alabama, with the AGR leasing this former Frisco route from BNSF in the late 1990s.

Taken in Port Moody, BC, it's a shot of the ship loading dock near the Pulp Mill area. The three grey stacks on upper right are at the old oil refinery when this area became populated; I believe they are not in use any longer. I always loved this 'oldie' (2009) water scene, took this shot from my south west facing balcony and before I had my zoom lens.
Camber Dock in Old Portsmouth England dates back to 1180 and was built by Jean de Gisors the owner of a fleet of merchant ships so he could trade with Normandy. Now the home to a fleet of inshore fishing boats and a marina for leisure craft
This is several handheld shots stitched together at a quiet location in Florida. This dock, which is a floating dock, normally isn't so far from shore...but thanks to heavy rains, much of the park (and the land going to the dock) is flooded. Used a Sony A35 with a Tamron 17-50 lens.
Built by the PRR as part of the elevated Newark Penn Station project, Dock Bridge consists of two lift spans over the Passaic River. The west span (right) was built in 1935 and opened along with Newark Penn Station in March 1935 (the headhouse and the three western tracks in service), the east span was built in 1937 with the H&M (PATH) on the upper level along with the east half of the station, which opened June 20, 1937.
I am never usually up at sunrise but on this ocassion, our boat had not long docked and I had to be up for an excursion...One of many! I wish I could tell you in which port I took this, but I just cannot remember...how bad! The boat in frame is one of the Costa cruise ships, I have traveled on this line before when visiting the United Arab Emirates, They are much smaller in comparison to the ship I was on (MSC Fantasia). This image is again from a cruise I took back at the beginning of 2010, the trip I have just returned from was a cruise on the Norweigan Cruise Line's ship 'Epic'. Both ships were totally amazing inside, photos from both to come.
I recently spent a night Liverpool for a friends 30th party. I was really lucky to be blessed with a great sunset and calm water whilst photographing Liverpool's Albert Dock.
Gloucester Docks and Quays are the most inland docks in England. They are part of a network of canals and rivers in the west of England - with the main ship canal opened in 1827.
I've gone for a vintage, b&w look for these photos.
Teddybear D9504 stands at Chatham Docks. Victa Railfreight had the contract to shunt and load examine the steel traffic here. The traffic has now ceased and the branch built on!
The Teddybear even made it to the top of the branch on the odd occassion!
