This might sound an obvious question but how wide is the Mersey at its narrowest and widest points within Merseyside.(For this purpose west of Runcorn Bridge) How deep are the shipping channel(s) and how wide are they. Is there an accessible map available on line?

The narrowest point I can find is between the Waterloo Dock and Seacombe Ferry landing stage, which is 820m. Land to land at this point is around 900m.

The widest looks to be around 4.5k, near Ellesmere Port

There's a scale on the map in nautical miles.
