Sunderland rose into importance as a seat of trade and
commerce about the middle of the 18th century, and is
now one of the chief coal-shipping ports in the kingdom.
Its facilities as a port have been greatly improved of
late years; a harbour has been made by two stone
piers 590 and 650 yards long, extensive docks have
been constructed, and a lighthouse has been erected
on the N. pier-head, 64 ft. high, with 2 fixed lights
73 and 55 ft. above high water and seen 13 and

6 miles; on the S. pier-head is a fixed light 58 ft.
above high water and seen 10 miles. The harbour, with
the docks, is 78 ac. in extent. A large trade is done
with the Baltic ports and with Holland. (For ship-
ping statistics, see Appendix.) After its coal trade
and shipping, the town depends chiefly upon its ship-
building ; it has also large marine engineering works,
works for heavy iron-forging, and for the mfr. of glass,
cordage, earthenware, &o. Sunderland has many
handsome public buildings (including several charitable
and educational institutions), excellent sanitary arrange-
ments, and parks, museum, free library, school of art,
and public baths. It was early chartered (under the
name of the new borough of Monk Wearmouth) by the
bishops of Durham, and was made a pari. bor. in 1832 ;
it returns 2 members to Parliament.-—2. Sunderland,
