Liverpool

Liverpool, United Kingdom

Liverpool is a city in Merseyside, England, on the eastern side of the Mersey Estuary. The city is within the historic county of Lancashire. Its urbanisation and expansion were largely brought about by its status as a major port, which included its participation in the Atlantic slave trade. Liverpool was the port of registry of the ocean liner RMS Titanic, and many other Cunard and White Star ocean liners such as the RMS Lusitania, Queen Mary, and Olympic. It is also home to the UK headquarters of many shipping lines including Japanese firm NYK and Danish firm Maersk Line.

Seaford

Seaford, United Kingdom

Seaford is a coastal town in the county of East Sussex, on the south coast of England. In the Middle Ages, Seaford was one of the main ports serving Southern England, but the town’s fortunes declined due to coastal sedimentation silting up its harbour and persistent raids by French pirates. However, Seaford’s fortunes revived in the 19th century with the arrival of the railway connecting the town to Lewes and London. It became a small seaside resort town, and more recently a dormitory town for the nearby larger settlements of Eastbourne and Brighton, as well as for London.

IonianIslands

Ionian Islands, Greece

The Ionian Islands are a group of islands in Greece. In recent decades, the islands have lost much of their population through emigration and the decline of their traditional industries, fishing and marginal agriculture. Today, their major industry is tourism. Specifically Kerkyra, with its harbour, scenery and wealth of ruins and castles, is a favourite stopping place for cruise liners.
