Cunard Line's Queen Victoria will join the Battle of the Atlantic 80th anniversary commemorations in Liverpool.
The ship will berth at the city’s Cruise Terminal on June 3 during a Round Britain voyage. Her call to Liverpool will follow a weekend of events in the city region to mark 80 years since the Battle of the Atlantic.
Liverpool played a key role in the Allied success in the battle. From 1941, Derby House on Rumford Street was the headquarters of the Western Approaches Command Centre, which controlled the defences of British shipping. It is now the Western Approaches Museum.
