Mr S. Wyatt's plan.
The proposed
London Docks compared with those proposed at the Isle of Dogs.
1793 engr. James Basire (published 1803)
(Wyatt proposed that new docks be constructed at Wapping and on the
Isle of Dogs. Wyatt also suggested that the Wapping dock be connected
to the Thames at Blackwall by a canal, which would reduce the time it
took ships to journey up river. Although his canal scheme was not
adopted, docks were eventually built at the locations he envisaged (the
London Docks and West India Docks).)
