A late 19th century view of the docks in Dundee, Scotland's fourth-largest city. The history of Dundee is closely linked to the harbour thought to have existed since the 11th century. Improvement works, designed by Thomas Telford began in 1815. The King William IV Dock was opened in 1825 and the Earl Grey Dock followed in 1834. By this time, the port was taking in over one million bales of jute each year. The waterfront, retains several of the docks that were the hub of the jute and whaling industries.
