In 2001 the Guinness Book of Records declared Liverpool 'City of Pop', the City that has produced more hit records than anywhere else.

It is the result of extensive research by Pamela Gerrish Nunn, whose work on Pre-Raphaelite women artists has done so much to re-assess the art history of the Victorian period.

The Charles Cooper of 1856 was a packet ship sailing between New York and Antwerp. Many European emigrants were carried on the return voyage to seek a better life in the United States. After 1859, there were 'tramping' voyages around the world until 1866 when the Charles Cooper was declared unseaworthy at Stanley in the Falkland Islands, and remained there as a storage hulk. This book records the ship's history - its construction, travels and ultimate fate.
