Waterline: Meet Me at Mabel's

on BBC Two England

David Fairhall and Penny Bowles cover the world of ships, boats, and the sea.

Liverpool lost prestige as Britain's North Atlantic port when Cunard switched their big passenger ships to Southampton. Liverpool seamen serving on the liners lost their jobs or moved away from Merseyside. Does this city of ships and pop songs have a stormy future? How much longer will crews go on meeting at Mabel's, the dockside pub which has been home to generations of Merchant Navy men from Liverpool?
