The city of Liverpool is famous throughout the world. In 1715 Liverpool created the world's first enclosed, commercial wet dock; eventually there would be docks along 7.5 miles of the River Mersey. This once-small fishing village was transformed into a mighty commercial powerhouse, seen by many as the second city of the British Empire.
Nevertheless, by 1980 Liverpool's population had reduced by over half; its infrastructure and economy were decaying, and its political leaders were leading the city towards complete collapse. It rapidly grew into the greatest port and city in the entire British Empire outside London. Today, Liverpool has the fastest-growing economy in Britain and has been a European Capital of Culture and is a UNESCO World Heritage City.
