Cumberland has a sea coast; to the Irish Sea. Shipping along the coast, to the Isle
of Man, Scotland and Ireland, and to anywhere in the world might have begun in Cumberland.
There are a number of harbours on the coast of Cumbria; less busy than they once were.
Whitehaven was once one of the busiest harbours in the British Isles. |
