Description

Most people living in Merseyside and maybe beyond have heard of Cammell Laird, but how many know that there was shipbuilding in Liverpool from the period of slavery up to 1899? This book contains the biographies of these shipbuilders and the ships they built. It also contains the risk to life for the workers and their names get a mention. For the shipbuilders there was a risk to their business caused by fire and a description of these events is included. The book contains a vivid description of a train accident when the son of a shipbuilding family was killed at a local railway station. It also mentions the loss of life of a shipbuilder during a shipping disaster. It will be revealed the reason why shipbuilding ended in Liverpool in 1899. The author believes this is a unique book and about time Liverpool people near and far should be aware of this local maritime history, but anyone interested in shipbuilding might find this work so interesting.
