Liverpool Docks Through Time

Product Description

The Port of Liverpool handles more container trade with the United States than any other port in the UK & now also serves more than 100 other non-EU destinations, from China to Africa & the Middle East, & from Australia to South America.

Liverpool has been an important port since the seventeenth century, when the city began to import West Indian sugar & Virginian tobacco, exporting Lancashire textiles in return.

In Liverpool Docks Through Time, a wide collection of photographs guides the reader from the early years through the massive expansion of the nineteenth century & the reconstruction that followed the Second World War to the new patterns of trade that emerged later in the twentieth century & up to the present day.

It covers everything from White Star ocean liners to the tugs of the modern docks & from hard-working freighters to restored sailing ships.
