With the exception of the wet dock (of which only the quay-walls had been constructed), all these works were recorded as being complete by 1829. During the early 19th century, other major projects included the construction of wharfs along the length of Waterloo and Regent Quays and the creation of what at the time was called the South Breakwater, but now known as the Inner or Old South Breakwater. It extended 243.8 metres (266.6 yd; 800 ft) from the south shore of the mouth of the River Dee and was completed between 1812 and 1815. 49: 891: 1673: 4663: 1594: 4370: 1232: 596: 1775: 4362: 69: 1128: 4656: 933:

late 1960s and early 1970s saw investment from central government to allow the reconstruction of Mearns Quay, 180 metres (600 ft) of Commercial Quay and part of the fish-market. The Victoria Dock was redeveloped and the tide locks at Waterloo Quay were removed in 1975, resulting in the whole harbour again becoming tidal, with dredging occurring as necessary to maintain the required depths.

630:. This included widening and deepening of the harbour, the dredging of sand-banks at the harbour entrance and removal of part of Abercromby's Jetty. During this period 303 metres (994 ft; 331 yd) of new quayside was constructed. At this point in time navigation into the harbour was difficult, particularly for long 2015:

Located at Pocra Quay adjacent to the Roundhouse, the Abercrombie Jetty (also known as the 'Catch Pier') was constructed in 1789 as part of wider harbour improvements.

In May 2017, construction started on a new harbour at Nigg Bay to the south of the existing harbour.

In 1973, Shell became the first oil company to enter a partnership with the harbour to create an oil and gas supply base at Maitlands Quay on the River Dee. The redevelopment saw the remainder of Old Torry demolished, with only a few houses left and none dating from earlier than the 19th century. The

The early twentieth century saw the expansion of quaysides on the southern shores of the River Dee, with River Dee Dock No.1 and Maitlands Quay being constructed to the west of Torry Harbour between 1909 and 1915. This coincided with the development of Torry which saw new streets, a school and church

Although several local owners invested in new stern trawlers, by the late 1960s, Aberdeen was facing economic decline with an ageing fishing fleet rapidly reducing in size and the ship building industry also declining. In 1978 Aberdeen was still the main Scottish port for white-fish processing, with

Plans to divert the River Dee to its current route were agreed in 1868, allowing for the creation of the Albert Basin between 1869 and 1872, with Commercial Road to the formed to the north and Albert Quay to the south.

With the width of the entrance to the navigation channel restricted by the construction of the North Pier and South Breakwater, Abernethy considered it necessary to provide a navigational aid to assist vessels entering the harbour.

issued a charter to raise funding for improvements, with considerable work thereafter being undertaken, including repair of the bulwark, pier, shore and harbour. In an attempt to address the problem of the sandbank, a bulwark known as the 'South Pier' was constructed in 1609 on the south side of the

The area experienced a number of issues which could make navigation into the port difficult. Coastal currents and northerly winds would often allow a sandbank to form at the mouth of the river, leaving a water depth of only a few feet. The tidal area did not have any protection from easterly storms,

One of the most important changes during the harbour's history took place between 1843 and 1848, when the docks onto which the town's quaysides fronted were finally enclosed to create the Victoria Dock, a wet-dock of 13.8 hectares (34 acres). Replacing Wellington Quay and Lime Quay, the scheme was

The site was redeveloped to create the Telford Dock, which provided five new deep-water berths, a jetty, two transit sheds and 26,000sqm of heavy-duty paved open storage. The dock's quays were each named after Aberdeen's shipbuilders, except for the Clipper Quay which relates to the bow design

Due to the higher cost of steam trawlers, fishing became increasingly more commercialised, with boats being operated by companies who paid their crews a wage, rather than family businesses who would share the value of the catch with their crew. To support the fishing industry several related

As a result of a declining fishing industry in Aberdeen, market sales of fish ended in the mid-1990s. The fish market at Commercial Quay was demolished between 2006 and 2007, 118 years after the first covered market was established at the harbour.
