Légende

Departure of a Cunard steamer from Liverpool: passengers coming on board, 1881. 'Among other precautions regularly taken by the Cunard Company, it may here be mentioned that, on account of the danger of navigating the Mersey by insufficient light, the ships are never allowed to leave Liverpool in the afternoon or evening. They always sail in the morning; and, in consequence of the state of the tide, this often necessitates a very early departure...[The passengers] are received at their coming on board the ship by one of her courteous and attentive officers, and arc directed to their respective berths, readily obtaining whatever assistance they need'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
