Liverpool Pier Head

Falklands War veteran 'HMS Illustrious' berthed at Liverpool Ocean Terminal, near the Pier Head, on 15th February 2013. This was a public visit to the city by this famous aircraft carrier. She was decommissioned the following year and there was some talk of preservation but in the end she was towed to a Turkish ship breakers in 2016. Seven years after this visit one of Illustrious's successors would berth here for a similar public visit 72355.
