Cunard Building Features on BBC website

Liverpool's role in mass European emigration during the 19th and early 20th centuries is part of its outstanding universal value as a World Heritage Site - more people emigrated through Liverpool than any other European port.

The Cunard Line was one of the busiest shipping lines on the North Atlantic run and was responsible for much of that movement of people and had its headquarters in Liverpool's Cunard Building at the Pier Head for many years.  The Cunard Line moved out of the building in the 1990's but much of its interior has remained unchanged and it remains as a powerful reminder of how Liverpool influenced the demographics of the world.

Liverpool's World Heritage Officer explored the building with Stephanie Power in December 2008 and a short film can be seen at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7816440.stm

'Cunardia - A steamer trunk of titbits, trivia and trifles', is a book of fascinating facts about Cunard Line. It was published by The Open Agency Ltd in 2005 - ISBN 0-9542451-5-6
