There is no mention in this section of the railway being built along many of the parts of the harbour. I'd guess the railway came to the centre section of the floating harbour (via the Portbury line (B&E?) from the west and from Temple Meads (GWR?) from the east) in the 1860s? I think the the Midland railway also had a much smaller rail terminal around Temple Quay. The Bristol Harbour Railway still runs on the south side of the harbour and along the Welsh Back.
Also there is no mention of the various cranes (some of which still exist) that would have greatly increased the speed and capacity of handling loads. Some of these cranes were last updated in the mid 20th century. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.164.99.20 ( talk) 15:08, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
Bristol Industrial Museum closed in 2006. To keep up with the times, the reference to the "old industrial museum" on the harbour map should more accurately refer to M Shed museum. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.164.195.93 ( talk) 22:39, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
There is a picture of the "Cannons Marsh Bonded Warehouse Demolition", but no reference to this in the text. Can someone who knows about it add something, please? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 10:36, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
The final sentence of the lede says "At Hotwells, the floating harbour rejoins the tidal River Avon, via a series of locks, and flows into the Avon Gorge." Looking at it in Google Earth, there is just one lock there, not a series of locks. I propose changing this sentence, unless someone can convince me I am wrong.

Are there any old maps showing the original course that could be added to this article? It'd help with the opening description, as it's rather difficult visualizing the course between the Feeder Canal and the New Cut at Netham Lock. Where did the current original course meet the current original course? I guess it's more of a question of where the New Cut begins. -- Criticalthinker ( talk) 18:31, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
