Canning Dock, Salthouse Quay
Canning Dock is part of the Port of Liverpool. It is situated in the southern dock system, connected to Salthouse Dock to the south and Canning Half Tide Dock to the west. The Canning Graving Docks are accessed from the dock. The dock was opened in 1737 and was officially named after the Liverpool MP, George Canning in 1832. Canning Dock would have initially served ships involved in the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

Built in 1900 by Ferguson and Baird at their yard in Connah's Quay, Flintshire, The Kathleen and May is the last remaining British built wooden hull three masted top sail schooner. She is registered in Bideford, North Devon, but presently based in Liverpool and is listed as part of the National Historic Fleet.
