International Exhibition of Navigation, Commerce and Industry
The International Exhibition of Navigation, Commerce and Industry in Liverpool, England, was opened by Queen Victoria[1] on 11 May 1886.
The fair was held in Antwerp's exhibition hall which was transported for the exhibition and erected alongside Wavertree Botanic Gardens.[1] Additional attractions were the chance to visit the SS Great Eastern,[1] and to see a lifesize copy of the Eddystone Lighthouse and the rowing boat in which Grace Darling and her father rescued stranded occupants of a wrecked ship.[2]
Exhibitions from parts of the British Empire outside the United Kingdom included an African village, 50 "natives of Indian and Ceylon", camel and elephant rides, and a Canadian toboggan ride[2]
It was followed in 1887 by the Royal Jubilee Exhibition also in Liverpool.
