What better way to start the New Year and this section than with this book that I was given in Liverpool? It was commissioned by the Culture Company in Liverpool and published to celebrate Sea Britain 2005. A great foreword by Sir Robin Knox-Johnston and the book makes you appreciate just what a rich maritime history Liverpool has.We have all come a long way since one brave, but foolish, journalist asked Sir Robin ‘Why Liverpool?’ at the Press Conference stating that the 2002 Clipper Race would start there. This decision was a most significant step as up to then the starts and finishes of all the major yacht races had been polarised in the south of England.
