Southampton Docks ; official sailing list and shipping guide ; April 1932 : Southern Railway Company : Southampton : 1932 : back cover

            Southampton Docks, owned and managed by the Southern Railway, was one of the UK's busiest ports and regarded as a jewel in the crown of the Southern who had acquired it via the predecessor London & South Western Railway upon Grouping in 1923. As well as trade Southampton, along with Liverpool, Plymouth and London, was one of the great passenger gateways as many of the major steamship lines that connected the globe in pre-aviation days used Southampton as either the origin or port of call for worldwide services. The Southern invested heavily in the Docks, even in the years of depression, to both extend and modernise facilities such as the new Western extensions and dry docks. The Docks passed to the nationalised British Transport Commission with the railways in 1948 but were later privatised.

The Guide was produced and updated monthly to show the vast range of sailings, both arriving and departing, and destinations served. It also contains information as to steamship companies, dock and port facilities and adverts for associated concerns. This back cover reinforces the point as a trade hub.
