CUNARD YANKS – AND HOW THE MERSEY GOT ITS BEAT
BY JOHN WINTER
A fascinating prequel to “Blame It On the Beatles …. and Bill Shankly”
It is 1954. Steve and Dave are looking for adventure. Their hometown of Liverpool is scarred by war. New York is the future and it will soon be the richest city in the world. They need to see it and feel the excitement. They need to be there. They need to become Cunard Yanks.
Cunard Yanks were British men, mostly young, who worked on Cunard ships from the 1940s to the early 1960s on the transatlantic routes, mainly between Liverpool and New York.
American consumer goods, fashions, and music which they brought to Liverpool gave the city a special awareness of popular American culture.
