The area of anchorage for large ships on the Mersey is about 2,000 acres, and for small boats about 500 additional acres. The approach to this anchorage is by the bar of the Mersey, the depth varying from 11ft at LWST. to 40ft at HWST. The length of quay walls on the river sides outside the docks is 8 miles. W. prev. are from two opposite quarters, viz., NW. and SE., about equal in days throughout the year. SE. winds are off shore, and bring fog, but otherwise generally harmless. NW. winds make a lee shore, and may become dangerous. Rys. C.L.C., G. W., L. & Y., L. & N. W, M. Tr. The second port in magnitude in the U.K. No vessels enter at LWST.

Thus the effective depth of these Docks is made not less than that of the lowest sills, over which they can be approached, viz., 12ft below Datum. Birkenhead Docks:
