Merseyside Martime Museum. It is a jewel of Liverpool and one of the city's national museums. This museum covers the history of the port and its economic activities. Boats, models, uniforms, paintings and many others, exhibitions are alive and informative. The section on immigration to the Atlantic is particularly interesting. From 1830 to 1930, nine million people left Europe by the Mersey with the hope of a better life in the New World. In order to limit starvation, poverty and overcrowding, orphaned children or poor families were also embedded in the United States, Australia or Canada. All this is made possible by the chartering of huge ships, some of which, among the most prestigious, are honoured here. The Titanic and the Lusitania, a palace floating with the tragic destinies, deliver all their secrets through photographs and objects of life on board. Côté trade, part is entirely devoted to trade in chocolate, spices, cotton and of course sugar, thanks to which Henry Tate, father of the prestigious eponymous collection, became a billionaire.

International Slavery Museum. At the heart of all this, a much less glorious aspect of the city: the slave trade. On the top floor, the International Slavery Museum clearly exposes Liverpool's sad role in this dark page of history, and the question of racial prejudice.

Le musée maritime est très intéressant. On en apprend beaucoup sur le Titanic, dont Liverpool était le port d'attache mais on peut aussi admirer une belle collection d'affiches publicitaires.
