Historical
information about Whitehaven
Whitehaven is a Georgian planned town (one of Britain's
first planned towns, with a grid iron pattern of streets). It
boasts almost as many links with America as it does with the rest of England.
Rich coal reserves were mined and transported to Ireland. This
coal
trade led in turn to ship
building and a direct involvement in trade with the newly
founded Colonies in what was to become the USA. The port also
had to defend itself and its ships against raiders and had its
own small fort.
Three of the leading figures in the American War of Independence had connections
with Whitehaven. These were George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and John
Paul Jones. To learn more see our site Whitehaven's
American Connections
