Spectral Fire Flares As Liverpool Stage Burns For a Week
A fiery stage on the Mersey pier wall burned for almost a week despite relentless water from Liverpool fire engines. The structure, a double deck with interstitial joists, trapped flames between lanes, delaying containment as firemen fought to save only approaches and prolong the blaze. Passengers on a steamer to the Isle of Man endured a rough voyage amid crowded decks, seasick travelers, and a sociable Lancashire crowd, while observing the spreading glow and a view of Naples Bay-like coastlines as the ship approached Manx shores.
