Royal Albert Dock, Liverpool, Maritime complex in Liverpool, England.

The Royal Albert Dock features five warehouses constructed from cast iron, brick, and stone, forming an expansive waterfront development spanning 1.25 million square feet.

Opened in 1846, this dock introduced the first non-combustible warehouse system in Britain and incorporated hydraulic cranes for enhanced cargo handling operations.

The dock houses multiple museums, including Tate Liverpool, Merseyside Maritime Museum, and The Beatles Story, which document local and national heritage.
