Mersey Docks and Harbour Board

The Mersey Docks and Harbour Board was an organization responsible for managing and operating the docks, ports, and related facilities along the River Mersey in Liverpool, England. Established in the 19th century, it oversaw the infrastructure that facilitated maritime trade, ensuring efficient loading, unloading, and storage of goods. The Board coordinated port development, maintained safety standards, and supported maritime commerce, playing a crucial role in Liverpool’s status as a major port. It functioned until its functions were integrated into broader port authorities or government agencies, reflecting changes in management and transportation over time.
