About this audio guide
This guide to the Maritime Museum on Liverpool's Royal Albert Dock begins on Scotland Road in May nineteen fifteen, in the days after the Cunard liner Lusitania, Liverpool's own ship, was lost off southern Ireland. It follows a local boy, Pat O'Mara, through the dockland streets where her firemen and sailors lived. Best heard on the quayside outside, beside the great propeller.
