Eastham Dock

Greetings from Victoria BC, Canada. I am doing research on my Father- in-law's war diary and I write you seeking information. According to his diary my Father-in-law shipped overseas from the Eastham Merseyside England in October of 1943. Would you have any information or could suggest any place where I might be able to gather information about this area in this time period. Pictures, news paper clipping or things of that kind would be most interesting.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to give me in my research. John.

    Queen Elizabeth 11 Dock in Eastham was only completed inthe mid-1950s so the guy who emigrated to Canada in 1943 could NOT have gone from there.

    If he did actually ' ship' out he would have gone from the berth on the River Mersey waterfront between Eastham and Bromborough Pool .
    This is a masive wooden jetty which is still there and it reminds me very much of the old Landing Stage at Liverpool for Irish and I.O.M. vessels .
