Trading Places - a history of Liverpool Docks

1914-18

The port is very busy during World War I. During the 1920s the port is profitable but some docks (notably from Albert to Waterloo) are using more and more outdated equipment. The decline in world trade during the 1930s hits the docks hard.

Docks active in this year include:

• Gladstone Dock
• Canada Dock
• Huskisson Dock
• Waterloo Dock
• Princes Dock
• Canning Dock
• Albert Dock
• Pier Head
• Wapping Dock
• Herculaneum Dock
• Birkenhead Docks
