Liverpool is an important and very famous city in North West England. It stands on the mouth of the River Mersey and was once one of the United Kingdom’s main ports.It was important during the development of the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century, handling goods and raw materials such as coal and cotton. City merchants were involved in the shameful Atlantic slave trade. Also in the 19th century, it was a major port of departure for Irish and English immigrants leaving to live in the U. S. Liverpool was home to Cunard-White Star Line, Ltd., and was the home port of the large passenger ship Titanic, which sank in 1912 after hitting an iceberg.Other famous ships from Liverpool include Queen Mary and RMS Lusitania.The city was the birthplace of The Beatles, perhaps the most famous pop group of all time and Liverpool’s most famous export since the 1960s.It also has two top football clubs, Liverpool F. C. and Everton F. C., and the oldest Chinese community in Europe. The famous Grand National horse race takes place each year in Aintree, on the edge of the city.
