Water, water, everywhere - or at least on three sides of the peninsula, not to forget the marine lakes! If we assume that our maritime heritage kicked off with the Benedictine Monks at Birkenhead Priory some time around 1150 with the ferry crossing to LIverpool, then it's not unreasonable to assume that we've probably been visited since then by all imaginable seafaring vessels from dinghys to aircraft carriers and ferries to ocean going liners.

| The River Mersey provided a magnificent backdrop to fabulous ships and scenes from years gone by! |
I'm sure that a Chinese junk has sailed up the Mersey so there must be a coracle in the historical picture somewhere! If you find it let us know. Why not take the opportunity to visit the magnificent tallships Mir and Prince William berthed in the West Float, Birkenhead and take in more tall ships at the Canning and Albert Docks, Liverpool, during the Mersey River Festival, and join in this celebration of our maritime heritage? Go on, throw caution to the wind, enter into the spirit of it all and go across on the Ferry!

Tall ships highlight of River Festival - This year's Mersey River Festival is on course to be the biggest and best ever. The magnificent tall ships will glide onto the Liverpool and Wirral waterfront to mark the start of the 24th Annual Mersey River Festival and a further 150 vessels are expected to fill the docks as the festival progresses. Festival favourite the Grand Turk will be among the tall ships sailing in while another major attraction this year will be the steam tug Challenge, which played a major role in the rescue of more than 300,000 servicemen at Dunkirk in 1940.
