Maryport Harbour

Highlight • Structure

Maryport was founded in 1749 when Humphrey Senhouse started to develop the existing village of Ellenfoot into a bustling port, following the example set by Whitehaven. He named it after his wife, Mary.

It grew to be an industrial centre during the 19th century but suffered a decline in the mid 20th century. Today, it is a popular tourist spot, boasting an aquarium, yacht marina and museums.
