Episode 8:  Echoes Of The Mersey

There are so many great ships to be seen in this video - Cunarders - White Star - Canadian Pacific - Harrisons - Blue Funnel - PSNC - Elder Dempster - Lamport & Holt - Palm Line - Bibby Line - Tate & Lyle & Anchor Line, to mention but a few. However, nothing can quite prepare you for the unique moving picture/sound experience of the the final departure of the ill-fated Lusitania’s sailing from New York in 1915, sounding her mighty sirens for what was to be the last time - this has never been made available to the public before. Critic's report:- These maritime videos are not only increasing in numbers, but in quality, and the eighth in this series is no exception. Film footage, ranging widely in date, has been skilfully assembled to present a vivid, even emotional picture, of the splendour of the Mersey’s past
