all these storys about the seamans pool in liverpool as got me a wee bit confusedduring the war wnen the pool was first started when you signed off one ship you went to the pool and they would give you a ship to sign on if my memory is right you had the choice of three ships you had to take one of them idid go to the pool a couple of times and it was in canning place they use to be a canteen just near there where you could get a pint of beer i think very cheap in them days
