Stock Photo of the Beacon Maritime Museum at Whitehaven, Cumbria, England
Image number: 0018-0709-2218-0352
Description: Whitehaven was once second only to London as a major port in England. It exported mainly iron, steel and coal and imported tobacco from Virginia and rum and sugar cane from the West Indies. It is now designated as one of only 50 "Gem" towns in England. It was the site of the only foreign invasion of mainland England since 1066. John Paul Jones, the Commander of the American Continental Navy, landed, with the ship Ranger, during the American War of Independance, in 1778, with the intention of burning all the shipping in the harbour. His men, however, became drunk on rum and beer so the attack was abandoned. The photo shows the Beacon, which is now a maritime museum. Photographed October 2006.
