| Description |
English: Mr Ogle's plan, for mooring vessels, in the River Thames, from London Bridge to Deptford, on an improved system. Single sheet, hand coloured engraving. Scale in feet. A text panel explains the proposed improvements. This map illustrates the range and volume of trade to London. Ogle's plan was an attempt to solve the problem of overcrowding caused by the doubling of London's seaborne trade since 1760. By the time of this chart, nearly 3,500 foreign-going vessels were sailing to London each year. The role of the navy in safeguarding this trade during the French revolutionary and Napoleonic wars was of vital importance. In the event this improved system was passed over in favour of the more ambitious West India Docks and Wapping Docks schemes. |
