In 1839, the British cities of Liverpool and Manchester were connected by the opening of the Manchester Ship Canal, which facilitated the transportation of goods between the two cities. This man-made waterway enabled larger ships to navigate directly to Manchester, enhancing trade and commerce. The canal was a significant engineering achievement of its time and played a crucial role in the industrial growth of the region. It ultimately transformed Manchester into a major port city, despite its inland location.
The Ali-ali-O is the Manchester ship canal built in the 1880's and early 1890's. It turned Manchester in to England's 3rd most important Trading port despite the fact that Manchester is over 50 miles from the coast. There would have been hundreds of big ships using it everyday bringing in cotton form the USA, so it is very likely that one of these large ships sailed on the last day of September. the Canal is no longer in major use, as it it not big enough to deal with today's modern ship sizes.
The Copthorne Hotel Manchester is located in the English city of Manchester as it's name suggests. It's sutuated just outside the city center along the Manchester ship canal.
