How is Liverpool linked to the titanic

i know its written at the rear end of the ship but it sailed from southampton and was built in belfast if im not mistaken,

so if anyone can throw some info my way i'd be much grateful :wink:

White Star Line was founded in 1850 in Liverpool, thats one way it is linked but i dont know if thats why it had liverpool painted on the stern?

Exactly, bess. The Naval Court of Registry is the place any line's work is registered out of. As WSL's main offices were in Liverpool. that's what was on the stern.

Does anyone know why [i:c9e8898ded]Liverpool[/i:c9e8898ded] has such a wierd name? It really breaks down towards gross.

Hmmmm....I think it would [i:6329dc8cfd]definately[/i:6329dc8cfd] be duller....

Teamtuna,
When I read your question re: actually what does Liverpool mean, I did some research but came up empty handed. Could not find out why it was named liverpool or anything in the history of the city, etc.

Think this is going to be a tough question.

Did anyone else find out anything about the name?

i dont why its called Liverpool, but i live in Cornwall, so i wonder how that got its name too? i'll see if i can find out for you. i love Liverpudlian accents lol
