    Default Where we sailed from

    The following pictures were taken in the mid 1930's and are from an old magazine article about Liverpool being one of the greatest seaports of the world. They show the stretch of docks from the Brunswick looking toward the Salthouse and Pier Head(note the Customs House in the background)
    Second we have the new dry dock in the Gladstone ,how clean and orderly things looked then. Finally we have the passenger liner Landing stage with the Pier head serving as a backdrop. Things were not so very different when I was at sea.
    Can anyone name the ships?
