PIN Tobacco Dock
The Golden Warehouse
Tobacco Dock, built in 1812 was a previous warehouse for imported tobacco and some other expensive goods like wine or distilled liquor. The dock is in the presence of two replicas of old ships, the “Three Sisters” and the “Sea Lark”. One is a 18th century merchant ship and the other, an older american shooner captured by the Britain’s fleet during the Anglo-American War between 1812 and 1814.
The little hiccup
Since the beginning of the 2000's, the Dock is a conference center for large organisations and their event promotion. So unfortunately you can't access to the Dock itself although there is plenty to be seen in and around.
