Nevertheless the museum has many more interesting facts and stories about ships and tragedies. Nine million people left Liverpool in the early 20th century to start a new life overseas. Poverty and bad living conditions forced many families to risk their lives on these long trips into a new life. I found that part of the exibition most interesting.
Another great fact is, that all museums in Liverpool are for free. So it 's also worth a visit for all who are not so interested in shipbuilding really... Leave a Comment Address: Albert Dock

 Lusitania propeller by sandysmith
The Lusitania carried a healthy complement of American passengers when she departed New York for Liverpool on May 1, 1915. As the Lusitania neared the end of her crossing, a German U-boat sank three British ships in the waters south of Ireland through which she was about to sail and on May 7, 1915, the Lusitania was too slow in noticing both the periscope and the torpedo of a German submarine to escape her fate. She was just 10 miles from the southern coast of ireland.
The German government apologized for the incident, but claimed its U-boat only fired one torpedo and a second explosion was a result of a secret cargo of heavy munitions on the ship. If this true, Britain was guilty of breaking the rules of warfare by using a civilian ship to carry ammunition. British authorities rejected this charge and claimed that the second explosion was caused by coal dust igniting in the ship's almost empty bunkers.

The Albert Dock is one of Liverpool's main sights and half a day is easily spent there - there's the Maritime Museum, the Slavery Museum, the TATE Gallery of Liverpool, souvenir shops, restaurants, the Beatles Story and much more. For those who do not want to become too active the nice promenade behind the dock guarantees a great view on the Mersey.
Opened in 1846 by Prince Albert (hence the name!), the dock has served as an important point in Liverpool's history ever since. In the second half of the 19th century it was a highly profitable place for the maritime business, while later, from 1920 on, the dockhouses were used mostly for storing goods brought there by rail and on roads. After 1960, the dock's history seemed to turn to a bad ending: In order to create more space for building a "mini city", the demolition of the dock area was planned. Fortunately, the mood changed again in the late 1970s and eventually plans to restore the dock were successful. Nowadays, it's a vibrant part of Liverpool which is a must-visit - not only due to the UNESCO world heritage status!
