The De Wadden was built in the Netherlands in 1917 and carried cargo between Liverpool and various ports in Ireland from 1922 to 1961. She is considered to be the last functioning ship on the River Mersey that sailed. As the De Wadden is an example of the strong trading links between Liverpool and Ireland, she was purchased by the Liverpool Maritime Museum in 1984 and placed in this dry dock. There is an information board at the harbor.

DE WADDEN was a three-masted auxiliary schooner built in the Netherlands in 1917. Many Dutch ships were lost in World War I to torpedoes, mines, gunfire and bombing raids, as well as to seizure by Allied and German forces. DE WADDEN is a rare survivor of these ships.

After the war she was sold to Richard Hall of Arklow in southern Ireland and at this stage of her life symbolizes the long history of trade between Liverpool and Ireland and is representative of many other coastal schooners that plied their trade along the north west coast. She has strong links to Liverpool, having been a frequent visitor there between 1922 and 1961, and was the last merchant sailing ship to use the port. She also has great significance in Ireland's maritime history, being one of three surviving Irish Sea schooners and the only steel auxiliary schooner.
