This outflow leads down to Stonethwaite. Its possible to walk up the side of the beck from Stonethwaite to Dock Tarn, a shorter but steeper route than from Watendlath.

Memorial to Francis Mary Cory †1837. Marble in stone frame. Chancel, north wall.
Francis had been born on in 1809, the eldest daughter of the Revd. John and Mary Hare, the rector and owner of Docking Hall. In 1836 she married Robert Cory, born in 1811. He was the ninth of thirteen children of Robert and Ann Cory of Great Yarmouth. His father had been mayor and was a successful attorney with a wide portfolio of land. Robert Cory graduated from Pembroke College in 1834 and was ordained a priest the following year. After her death he gave up his curacy at Rockland St Mary and residence at Attleborough, to travel to Jerusalem and Asia minor, only returning in 1840.
His grief is reflected in the monument, adapted from Flaxman’s monument to Mrs Morley †1784, who had died at sea and in child birth. She is shown under a simple Gothic frame rising above waves, holding her dead child as she is accompanied by angels. Francis had died of small pox after the still birth of their child and she is shown in long drapes holding her dead child, who unlike Mrs Morley’s does not gesture to heaven. The monument is neither signed nor documented and the handling of her head and hands are slightly clumsy.

Some good old-fashioned fun took place at the Essex town dock on a hot, humid day in Summer as local kids jumped as if their lives depended on it into the warm waters of the Connecticut River.

I have several hobbies but building model boats is a main one. This is a 42 inch model of the Edmund Gardner, a retired Liverpool Pilot Cutter.
I have a workshop in the roof which gives me plenty of space.
This vessel is now in the graving dock and forms part of the Liverpool Maritime Museum exhibits.
Of course I have had some help building this, as you may have noticed?

Connected to the Severn Estuary by the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, the Gloucester Docks were, in the 19th century, a key trading centre. The railways, and, perhaps more importantly, the canal system provided trading routes to the growing centers in the midlands.
The Florida Sea Grant Team in the Gainesville Office took a field trip to the sponge docks at Tarpon Springs. They took out a tour boat along the river to learn about the historical diving practices and toured the Acme Sponge factory, where Jim Cantonis, a member of Florida Sea Grant's advisory board, explained how the sponges are processed before they head to retail outlets.
Tobacco Dock is a Grade I listed warehouse in London. It was constructed in approximately 1811 in the Docklands area of east London and it served primarily as a store for imported tobacco.
It is a brick building with many brick vaults and some fine ironwork. It was adjacent to a particular set of docks named London Docks, which have now mostly been filled in. Tobacco Dock is owned by Messila House, a Kuwaiti investment company.
At its north entrance stands a 7 ft tall bronze sculpture of a boy standing in front of a tiger. In the late 1800s, wild animal trader Charles Jamrach owned the world's largest exotic pet store, located on Ratcliffe Highway, near to Tobacco Dock. The statue commemorates an incident where a Bengal tiger escaped from Jamrach's shop into the street and picked up and carried off a small boy, who had approached and tried to pet the animal having never seen such a big cat before. The boy escaped unhurt after Jamrach gave chase and prised open the animal's jaw with his bare hands.

Strange goings on - I watched this for some time - the dockers were trying to move a wagon - no locomotive in sight and I assume too far from a hydraulic winch to use a rope. They were trying to use an articulated lorry to move thre wagon - with expected results - they could keep not keep it straight. Some how sums up the declining years of Bristol Docks. This is one of a sequence of three - notice the bored observer on one of the photos
