Product Description

From the Back Cover
This is a book about life in a great maritime port of the 1960s. The photographs from the period show a busy, vibrant scene of commercial and industrial activity.

However, this was a point when shipping was about to change drastically, as the emphasis switched to the shipping of goods and general cargoes in containers. The large shipping lines restructured into new container consortiums and the big fleets of conventional ships vanished almost overnight. Along with them went the tugs, barges and ancillary industries that provided employment to thousands in the region. Today, many of Liverpool's docks and warehouses lie empty as most goods are shipped through the Royal Seaforth Container Terminal.

The twilight years of the 19602 were the last heyday of Liverpool's long maritime history and are captured in Ian Collard's striking period pictures. From the glories of Cunard to the everyday to-ing and fro-ing of coastal ferries, the busy scenes of a port at work are bought to life. Sadly, it is a scene that has gone forever, but as Liverpool's dock buildings take on new roles and the city moves into the twenty-first century, we can at least look and remember the sea-going commerce that made Liverpool great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent pictures and well laid out. Mersey fans will love, 9 Jan 2001
By jaypot@btinternet.com (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I found that this book was full of wonderful photographs that will bring many nostalgic memories back to those who buy it. People from the 60's and 70's era will be especially impressed. All in all a very good read and a wonderful way to look back. Ian Collard certainly leaves open the option for more books about this Mersey era from pre 1960's to 1980's. Would be the start of a very good collection. Well laid out and well written.
