The Anonymous Widower

Queen Elizabeth Visits Liverpool

Not the person, but the cruise ship. Read about it here.

There is rather a war growing up about attracting cruise ships to the various ports in the United Kingdom. Liverpool is particularly well placed in that cruise ships come in directly in front of the Pierhead with the Three Graces and within a short walking distance of the major shops and museums. London’s cruise terminal is forty kilometres down river. Even Edinburgh, which has a deep water port at Leith, hasn’t got its act together and has even discredited its position with the farce over the trams.

Tourism is going to be one of the things that help to grow the economy.  Are the various ports around the country, up to scratch?
