London Docks, They are situated at Wapping, and arose from the want of sufficient harbour room in the Port of London. The eastern, or St. George’s dock, occupies more than 20 acres of what was formerly Wapping, and measures 1260 feet in length, 890 feet in width, and 27 feet in depth. this dock covers the space from Virginia-street almost to Old Gravel-lane, and is capable of holding 300 ships. The new dock is eastward of the preceding, and will hold about 50 ships. St. George’s dock was opened on the 1st of February 1805, when the Perseverance of Liverpool, the oldest vessel in the Oporto trade, decorated with the flags of all nations, sailed into the dock which is surrounded by a quay 100 feet wide, and by large stacks of warehouses.
