The Dock Feeder didn’t give Cardiff an advantage at all, it merely partially compensated for the fact that ships could only sail into and out of Cardiff during high tides. None of the ports I’ve listed were handicapped to the extent Cardiff was by the tides.

God this is almost as boring as the Dock Feeder.
If the dock feeder hadn't been built Cardiff wouldn't have grown into the cosmopolitan place it is today due to the port and docks

Lots of people are interested in Cardiffs history as Wales capital city

Considering you are a nationalist I would assume you would be but clearly I was wrong

Maybe we should fill it in ?

And dance around dressed as druids

Now that really is living in the past
