Emigrants' Liverpool, 1850

Liverpool in 1850 is a global emigration port at the height of transatlantic crossings, its docks full of sailing packets and steamers bound for New York. The walk threads the waterfront warehouses, Albert Dock's iron colonnades, the markets and lodging houses that outfit emigrants, and the civic terraces around Lime Street where St George's Hall rises.

35 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Liverpool as it stood in 1850 (“History of Liverpool”).
