Finished! Looks like this project is out of data at the moment!
We've finally run out of data, and together you've rescued 50 years of tide gauge data in just over one year. Thanks for all your help!

About UK Tides
About 28% of the people live near the coast, and with global sea level rising, we need long records to be able to investigate how local tides and sea level are changing. One way this can be done is by recovering data from old documents. In this project, we are trying to convert data from old tide gauge ledgers from the North West of England into data usable by scientists.
Here, we are focusing on two locations: George's Pier in Liverpool, now the site of the Cunard Building, and Hilbre Island, a tidal island on the Wirral peninsula.
