How to use the site
The Historic Dock Project is a family run project charting migration stories to Wales. Within our project area you will find all of our current project details as well as a basic example of our research. Each area has a link which will give you more information about a topic however it is useful to take a look at all of our projects for a greater understanding of life in our Historic Docks.
We overlay extra information about an individual over their photograph so it is useful to hover the cursor over this.
