whn - for the sailors

whn - for the sailors
In the market place at Whitehaven are these two statues, representing the sailors & maritime history of this town. Back in the 18th century Whitehaven was, after London, the second busiest port of England. This is by tonnage from 1750 to 1772, with export of coal - mainly to Ireland / Isle of Man - and trade with the American colonies.

Needs a little tlc / maintenance, and interpretation.
Sadly, much of Whitehaven's heritage is not readily accessible ... and the town loses out on tourism ...

There's usually several of sets of tables & chairs in front of the buildings to the right, but as the cafe wasn't open when I took this image, the only one actually visible - in the background - is one of the picnic table / bench sets.
