About 1880 and the years after there was the Bangkok Dock or Bangkok Docks. What is the exact location? Established?

There were military docks between Wat Arun and Wat Rakang on the west side of the river (13°45'1"N 100°29'8"E), which were reduced after the bridges were built and thus the larger ship cannot reach them anymore. According to Thai Wikipedia on กรมอู่ทหารเรือ it was opened in 1891. But I am not sure this is the docks you search for.

Nope, Khun Dick is refering to the Bangkok Dock Co.Ltd. near Wat yannawa

Last time I looked on the Nelles Bangkok map the area was still endorsed 'Bangkok docks' and is close to Shrewsbury School.

Sadly I am in UK so cannot check the current version.
