Our local area of Crosby and Waterloo contains many links to the Titanic and The White Star Line and is liable to become quite a tourist attraction in the coming months with this year being the 100th Anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic on 15th April 1912. I have been taking some photographs of our local connections for a colleague who runs
Titanic Tours Liverpool.
