<p>Canning Dock<br />
<br />
Opened in 1737 as the Dry Dock, a protected tidal basin providing an entrance to Old Dock.<br />
<br />
In 1832, it was officially named Canning Dock after the Liverpool MP George Canning.<br />
<br />
The dock would have initially served ships involved in the trans-Atlantic slave trade.<br />
<br />
Abandoned as a commercial shipping facility in 1972 due to falling traffic and the rising cost of dredging.<br />
<br />
Restored in 1983, providing access to the Canning Graving Docks, which are part of the Merseyside Maritime Museum.<br />

<br />
Daffodil<br />
<br />
Former Mersey Ferry MV Overchurch, later Royal Daffodil, now the floating restaurant/bar Daffodil.<br />
 <br />
As Overchurch, the ship was built by Cammell Laird for Birkenhead Corporation in 1962 to operate the Birkenhead to Liverpool Ferry Service. <br />
<br />
Following the creation of the Merseyside Passenger Transport Executive, both Birkenhead and Wallasey Ferries were merged to form Mersey Ferries.<br />
 <br />
Overchurch was extensively rebuilt at Manchester Dry Docks in 1999 and renamed Royal Daffodil.<br />
 <br />
The rebuild was intended to make the vessel suitable for coastal cruises to Llandudno Pier; however, these trips did not materialise, and she remained in service on the River Mersey.<br />
 <br />
Withdrawn from service in 2012, she was laid up at Birkenhead until sold in spring 2019 to Liverpool City Sights Ltd.<br />
 <br />
An extended period of refubishment followed, in which the ship's engines and machinery were removed to create an event space in the engine room.<br />
 <br />
In November 2024, the ship was towed to Canning Dock and opened as a floating restaurant in December 2024.<br />
<br />

<br />
Brocklebank<br />
<br />
One of five motor tugs built by W. J. Yarwood &amp; Sons Ltd, Northwich, between 1962 and 1965 for Alexandra Towing Co. Ltd, Liverpool.<br />
<br />
Launched in 1964 and completed in February 1965. She was mainly used for ship handling at Liverpool, but had occasional duties at Heysham, Larne and Barrow.<br />
<br />
In 1989, she was purchased by Merseyside Maritime Museum.<br />
<br />
In November 2025, Brockleban was at Cammell Laird, Birkenhead, for essential restoration to its steel hull.<br />
<br />
Restored and on display in Canning Dock from January 2026.<br />
