History in the streets – Liverpool

1 Liverpool is a city in the north of England. It is on the River Mersey and near the Irish Sea and it has a big port.

2 People first lived in Liverpool about 800 years ago. In the 16th century, only about 500 people lived there. Today, the population is about 450,000 and the city is more famous as the home of the Beatles than as a port.

3 By the 17th century, ships regularly sailed from Liverpool to North America and the West Indies. It became an important port for transatlantic trade and some people in the city became very rich. In 1818, passenger boats also started going to North America. This made Liverpool a hub for people emigrating to America from all over Europe. Between 1830 and 1930, 9 million people left Europe via Liverpool for North America and Australia.

4 In the 19th century, the boats were much slower than they are today and it took 35 days to reach America. Today a ship can cross the Atlantic in five days.
