[4] Brunswick Basin was renamed as Coburg Dock in 1840, in honour of Prince Albert, and provided with a 70 ft (21 m)-wide river entrance.

[5] From 1842, the dock became Jesse Hartley's South Dockyard headquarters.

[5] The river entrance fell into disuse and was subsequently sealed up.[when?]

[8] This and the other docks in the southern system were owned by British Waterways, now transferred to the Canal & River Trust.

Part of the dock is set aside for moorings within Liverpool Marina.
