The new gallery displays will tell a story of Liverpool's seafaring communities and explore the rich and vibrant diversity of the men, women and children who travelled around the globe on the ships that gave the city its identity. As one of the world's largest ports, Liverpool's people were at the heart of the maritime merchant fleets that drove the city's prosperity. The gallery will explore the dangers, joys, culture and community of seafaring life through the moving and fascinating stories of the crews, passengers and their loved ones. The gallery takes a personal approach to maritime cultures and is intended for a general audience. It covers a broad time period - from the 1700's up to the present day.
