dock (1818 ft. long, 600 wide, and 38 deep), and
three branches (each 1600 ft. long and 38 deep—the
Centre Branch Dock being 300 ft. wide, while each of
the other two is 250 ft. wide); four large dry docks for
repairs; and a tidal basin, with a water area of 19 ac.,
and a depth of 26 ft. at low-water spring tides and of
46 ft. below Trinity high-water mark. At the 14
quays (in the main and branch docks), which are 13,000
ft. in length, 32 steam vessels of the largest size can be
berthed for loading or discharging, while the tidal
basin enables the largest steamships to enter and leave
irrespective of the condition of the tide. The Tilbury
Docks, which are among the finest in the world, were
formed by the East and West India Dock Company ;
they were commenced in 1882, and opened in 1886.
