Today the Albert Dock is a major tourist attraction in the city and the most visited multi-use attraction in the United Kingdom, outside London. It is a vital component of Liverpool's UNESCO designated World Heritage Maritime Mercantile City and the docking complex and warehouses also comprise the largest single collection of Grade I listed buildings anywhere in the UK.
Britain's most inland port is Gloucester docks, located at the northern junction of the River Severn with the Gloucester and Sharpness canal. The docks were formed when the canal from Sharpness opened in 1827 bypassing a difficult stretch of the Severn.
The docks is a conservation area and the Grade II listed warehouses have been renovated to create flats, offices, bars and restaurants. The dock area includes the National Waterways Museum and the Soldiers of Gloucester Museum.

Lovely blue hour shot down in Noank again. There was such a lovely sky, I barely edited this. It's amazing how dark and black this looked to my eyes, but the camera sees all this color that we don't!

I'm the lock keeper at St. Katharines - and I was on duty that day! The barge 'Leonie' at that time was owned by David Suchet (Poirot); you can see him on board wearing the grey flat cap.
He has since sold the boat - in fact, I think that was the day the boat left us to go to its new owner."
Thanks for your input Jon.

The development of Falmouth Docks began in 1858 and the foundation stone was laid by Viscount Falmouth in 1860 although the location of this stone is not known. The first ship to enter the docks arrived in 1861.
The Docks are currently managed and operated by A&P. At present Falmouth has three graving docks that provide up to 100,000 dwt dry dock capacity. There is a total wharfage with craneage and all other technical services, of 2.5km.
The docks are about to embark on an exciting phase of redevelopment that it is envisaged will include a world class 300 berth marina called Port Falmouth Marina. This will herald a new phase in the history of Falmouth Docks that will see new investment bringing benefits, not just for Falmouth, but the whole of Cornwall.
The regeneration plans include the provision of a new cruise liner terminal capable of accommodating the latest super cruisers. These plans are currently under assessment.
Our Falmouth port boasts one of the world’s largest natural deep-water harbours. Falmouth is the largest ship-repair complex in the UK with 3 large graving docks and extensive alongside deepwater berthing providing capacity for vessels up to 100,000 tonnes.

As well as extensive workshop facilities across all disciplines Falmouth offers bunkering facilities, the ability to dock without gas-freeing, in-water surveys and propeller polishing.
