from Edward I., but was a place of some consequence
long before the reign of that monarch. The marked
progress and prosperity of the town in recent times
may be attributed to the opening of docks, of which
the chief are the Old Dock, and the Humber, Junction,
Railway, and Victoria docks. Through the great
maritime enterprise of the inhabitants, Hull has be-
come one of the largest ports of the United Kingdom,
having shipping commerce with all parts of the world.
(For shipping statistics, see Appendix.) Regular lines
of steamers ply between the town and the chief ports
of the Continent. Sea-fishing is very extensively pro-
secuted by an immense fleet of trawlers and drifters
belonging to the port. The other industries of Hull
comprise shipbuilding, rope and sail works, chemical
works, mfrs. of oil, paint, and colours, flax and cotton
mills, engineering works, breweries, foundries, &c.
There is a fine Town Hall and many other handsome
and large public buildings. Near the docks is a
monument to William AVilberforce (1759-1833), the
philanthropist, who was a native. For parliamentary
purposes the bor. is divided into 3 divisions—East,
Central, and West—each returning 1 member; the
representation was increased from 2 to 3 members in
1885, when the parliamentary limits were extended.—
