More Information About the Port of Southampton

The Image Shows the RMS Mauretania Departing Southampton on 2 July 1935. She Was One of the Three Express Liners of the Cunard Line - The Lusitania, Aquitania, and Mauretania. She Had Been Sold to Metal Industries, Who Would Soon Break up This Fine Liner. The RMS Olympic Is Visible in the Background. GGA Image ID # 1d44393290

From several points of view, Southampton is one of the most exciting ports in the British Isles. It is, for instance, an outstanding example of a port developed by a railroad company for the sake of the passenger traffic commanded by a favorable location.

Then it possesses the extraordinary phenomenon of four tides a day. A glance at the map will understand the explanation of this natural endowment. One will see that Southampton lies some six miles up Southampton Water and that opposite the end of this deep inlet stands the Isle of Wight.

When a tide sweeps up the English Channel, it sweeps up Southampton Water. Still, when the ebb tide begins through the Channel and sweeps again past the Isle of Wight, the flood is held in Southampton Water and cannot get out.

The result is that two hours after every high tide in the English Channel, it is high tide for a second time at Southampton. Thus Southampton has practically four hours of the high tide every twenty-four hours. 

When released from their wartime service, the Aquitania and the Olympic, the two largest British-built ships, were placed on this express terry between Southampton and New York.

The Mauretania and the ex-German Berengaria have all been in the big dock at Southampton simultaneously, forming a unique spectacle.

By the way, this dock is, from prolonged usage by the White Star Line, called the "White Star Dock." The name, of course, is not precisely relished by the Cunard Company, whose big liners are also obliged to use it.

Particulars of the White Star Dock, the largest and deepest at Southampton, are as follows:

• Water area, 16 acres
• Length of quayage, 3,800 feet
• Length of the dock, 1,600 feet
• Width of the entrance 400 feet
• Depth of high water, ordinary spring tides, 53 feet
• Depth at low water, ordinary spring tides, 40 feet
