Map of Ocean and Empress Docks
The Empress Dock was opened by Queen Victoria in 1890 and has
the largest basin in Southampton docks. 1940s traffic through the
docks was mainly mail and bananas, although troopships were
regularly berthed here. The Ocean Dock was built in 1911 for the
use of White Star liners. The art deco-style Ocean Terminal at
Berths 43 and 44 was opened in 1950 for the use of passengers
boarding liners here. The maps in this section show Southampton as it was in 1944. The numbers on the map mark the locations of individual berths.
