Synopsis

Liverpool is rapidly emerging as a premier European city of culture and history, and in 2004 it was declared a World Heritage Site—the “supreme example of a commercial port at the time of Britain’s greatest global influence”—by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization. Liverpool: Maritime Mercantile City is the document prepared by the Liverpool World Heritage Site Steering Committee to support the bid for World Heritage status. With a thorough history of the area and its stunning buildings, complemented by a profusion of historic and contemporary illustrations in full color, the book is a compelling record of Liverpool’s history and its vital role in Britain’s economy.
