Princes Half-Tide Dock, Listed dock at Liverpool Maritime District, England.

The Princes Half-Tide Dock features granite rubble retaining walls and stands along the River Mersey as part of Liverpool's northern dock system.

Engineer Jesse Hartley designed this dock in the 1840s to accommodate vessels requiring different water levels through an innovative half-tide mechanism.

The dock represents the evolution of Liverpool's maritime infrastructure, reflecting the city's role as a major commercial port during the Industrial Revolution.

Modern developments around the dock include plans for a new ferry terminal and improvements to accommodate inland canal boat navigation requirements.

The dock maintains its Grade II listed status while undergoing modifications, demonstrating the balance between preservation and adaptation to current maritime needs.
