  Her maiden call that day will mark the start of celebrations to commemorate the 170th anniversary of the first Cunarder, Britannia, leaving Coburg Dock and the Mersey bound for Halifax, Nova Scotia and Boston. It has been a remarkable 170 years during which the city and Cunard have remained inextricably linked. This special 84-page glossy publication, priced GBP3.99, charts the major milestones in the history of the most famous name in shipping - many of them marked when its world headquarters were in the Pier Head building bearing its founder's name. It records the memorable visits by other Cunard Queens - notably QE2 - and looks ahead to more as well as the return of other famous cruise lines to Liverpool's waterfront. It also features the work of one of the world's foremost maritime artists, Liverpool-born Robert Lloyd whose paintings have captured more recent and notable events in Cunard Line history. CUNARD LIVERPOOL, Historic Home of the Most Famous Liners in the World is the fourth publication in this special series.
