This fella has retired. Being his assistant curator was the most fun. Never had a bad day with him. Could spill for hours about how much I love Steve Butler ❤️

Did you know that the American Civil War actually ended in Liverpool? On this day in 1865 the last Confederate warship CSS Shenandoah surrendered in the Mersey, bringing the war to close. Read more about Liverpool's links to the war here 👇liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/american-civil… #OTD #OnThisDay
