The Liverpool Watersports Centre is based in one of the former branch docks at Queen’s Dock. Queen's Dock is part of the Port of Liverpool. It is situated in the southern dock system, connected to King's Dock to the north, Coburg Dock to the south. The dock was opened in 1785 and later expanded. At its largest, the dock consisted of a main basin and two branch docks, which were separated by a graving dock. Branch Dock Number 2 (to the north) has since been filled in and is used as a car park. The graving dock is now straddled by the former HM Revenue and Customs building which has now been converted into luxury apartments (Image]) whilst Branch Dock Number 1 (to the south) is used by the watersports centre.
