Princes Half Tide Dock

Princes Half Tide Dock

Princes Half Tide Dock on the River Mersey is a half tide dock and part of the Port of Liverpool. It is situated in the northern dock system, connected to East Waterloo Dock and West Waterloo Dock to the north and Princes Dock to the south. The dock opened in 1810. Originally, a lock entrance from the Mersey was present, but has since been closed off.

In 2007, work began on a £20 million extension of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, providing a further 1.4 miles of navigable waterway and encompassing Princes Half Tide Dock.citeweb|url=http://www.britishwaterways.co.uk/liverpoolcanallink/scheme/index.php|title=Liverpool Canal Link: The Scheme|work=British Waterways|accessdate=6 April|accessyear=2008] A new lock and fixed bridge will be built at the entrance to adjoining Princes Dock.
