Ramsden Dock
Ramsden Dock is one of the four docks which make up the Port of Barrow in Barrow-in-Furness, England. It was constructed between 1872 and 1879 covering and named in honour of Sir James Ramsden; a founder of Barrow. Ramsden Dock splits into two parts in the south, the anchor basin and dock basin.

The port office is located adjacent to Ramsden Dock. Powerboat racing often takes place in Ramsden Dock, while a proposed redevelopment scheme of the area incorporates a watersports centre within ...
