Ellen Wharf, Maryport
Maryport is a delightful harbour side town situated on the beautiful Solway Firth. Its history covering 2000 years boasts a Roman fort, Georgian buildings, Victorian docks and industries which have included coal mining, iron making, shipping and ship building. The town has many fascinating links with famous men and historical events, being the birth place of Thomas Henry Ismay, founder of the White Star Line and owners of the ill fated Titanic.
Over the years the town has held a close affinity with shipping and the sea. The Elizabeth Dock opened in 1857 and was the first wet dock in Cumberland. Based here are the Maryport fishing fleet, alongside sea-going leisure craft. The large Senhouse Dock opened in 1884 and is now a Blue Flag Marina with impressive boat repair facilities, slipway and chandlery. Visiting boats are always made welcome.
In the early 1990s Thomas Armstrong (Construction) Limited built its first harbour side development, Ritson Wharf, helping to revitalise the harbour area of the town. Today contemporary Maryport boasts a fine deep water harbour, modern marina and unique town steeped in history - with a range of tourist attractions including a steam ship museum, unique quay side aquarium, Fleming Square, the military "battery", Norman motte and Roman museum.
The busy shopping thoroughfares offer a wide range of shopping facilities which combine with local restaurants, cafes, bars, the annual Blues Festival and the harbour area, to provide social and recreational opportunities to suit most tastes.
