Sea Liverpool |
As this is the ‘Year of the Sea’ we though that we would present an exhibition about our own waterfront. Above you can see a picture of just part of the exhibition. Click on it to see it full size.

Firstly we asked artists from Merseyside to paint and sculpt their idea
of the history of the river Mersey. We asked them to produce works,
which include any aspect of the river’s maritime history – The docks,
the ships, the events in its long history, its association with the
Merchant and Royal Navies. The response has been wonderful, and we have
received some marvelous art from these very talented people.
