These seven maps show the development of the London and Liverpool docks and were published for the Senate during the 2nd Session of the 30th Congress. The largest map, Plan of the East and West India Docks, shows very good detail of the Eastern and Western docks along the Thames River with several notations along the river's edge displaying the operating companies and individual land holders. Also included is Plan of the Liverpool Docks, which shows good detail of the docks in current operation, those under construction, and proposed docks along the Mersey River. A table above the map is filled with information about water, quay space and dock dimensions for each individual dock.
