No, the history of them, how they formed the life-blood of the whole dock

model of a dock with its cranes and trains would be good, too.


A Port of London museum could be quite interesting. Do any of the existing
museums cover that? There's NMM Greenwich not to away, but that's not London
focused.


The Museum of London branch in Docklands (near Canary Wharf) has some
coverage, but I don't recall any coverage of the dock railways. It's more
about the trade through the docks, than the workings of the docks
themselves.
