As trade in flax, jute and whaling grew, particularly during the 19th Century, so this harbour grew in size and harbour complex once comprised the Earl Grey Dock, the King William IV Dock, both connected through a tidal harbour, a harbour for the Tay ferry to Newport-on-Tay, the Victoria Dock and Camperdown Dock, together with graving docks and ship-building yards. At its peak, it occupied some 48 hectares (119 acres) and offered 3½ miles ( km) of quayside. The King William IV Dock and the West Graving Dock were built between 1812 and 1825 by the engineer Thomas Telford (1757 - 1834). With the construction of Camperdown Dock (1865) and Victoria Dock (1875), land began to be reclaimed from the river and development moved southwards so these new docks could access deeper water.
