Steam packets ply regularly between Har- wich and the Continent in connection with the Great Eastern Ry. (For shipping statistics, see Appendix.) The town depends a good deal upon the success of its shrimp and lobster fisheries. Other industries of the dis- trict are shipbuilding, Roman cement works, brewing, sailmaking, ropemaking, and the mfr. of artificial manure. On the shore, or Inner Ridge, abreast of Dovercourt, are 2 fixed lights (Harwich) seen 11 and 94 miles; and near the extremity of Laudguard Point is a fixed light (Harwich) seen 10 miles. Harwich returned 1 member to Parliament until 1885.
