Discover the origin of Liverpool’s fortune, buried right underneath us here at Liverpool ONE with a tour of the Old Dock.
Revealed during excavations in 2001, the story of the world’s first commercial enclosed wet dock is explored on this guided tour. You will discover how a brave idea and an innovative feat of engineering shaped Liverpool’s destiny forever.
Tour Details
The Old Dock tours are available on Wednesdays, Fridays and every other Thursday and Saturday at 10.30am, 12pm and 2.30pm. Each tour lasts up to an hour.
On the tour visitors are taken back in time as they see a large portion of the Old Dock rising more than 20 feet from the bed of the Pool – the creek that gave Liverpool its name. A modern bridge and walkways give grandstand views.
Please Note: The Maritime Museum is currently closed for essential maintenance works ahead of a proposed major redevelopment project, however the Old Dock Tours will run as normal. The meeting point for the tours is outside the front door of the Pump House Pub, near the Maritime Museum.
