You can’t moor Cunard’s Three Queens in the centre of Manchester or Leeds.
The powerhouse that Britain forgot: Why Liverpool's revival is at the heart of George Osborne's plans to regenerate the North
Cruise ships are back at a new terminal on the famous waterfront outside the Three Graces of Liverpool – the Royal Liver Building, the Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool.
It was here that thousands of well-wishers gathered last summer when Cunard’s Three Queens – the Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria and Queen Mary 2 – returned to their spiritual home to celebrate the birth of the cruise line in Liverpool 175 years earlier.
The celebration marked a significant day for the city. The River Mersey has long been the lifeblood of Liverpool – helping to turn the city into the one of the greatest ports in the world in its heyday.
