Reply to comment by Duanedoberman in Today I learned the first overseas Consulate of the United States was in Liverpool, established in 1790! by Seahawk124

>Yes, the consulate did stood on the quayside of Steers Dock and the Pool of Liverpool. The quayside is now a couple hundred yards West now. The building was decorated with a golden bald eagle, the national symbol of the United States and a reassuring sign to American sailors or travellers arriving at Liverpool docks.
