Merseyside Maritime Museum, Liverpool
Liverpool was one of the World's greatest seaports for over two hundred years and is now Britain's largest west coast port. The museum looks at this history of shipping, which shipping companies existed and how and when ships were built.
One gallery looks at Liverpool's most famous ships the Titanic, Lusitania and Empress of Ireland. All three ships sank and within three years of each other between 1912 and 1915.
