Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Inner harbour, West Bay Bridport Harbour, as it used to be known, was built in 1740 and visited by as many as 500 shops a year during the 19th century. Sluice gates, added in 1823, enable a torrent of river water to be released to scour sand and shingle from the entrance channel. Schooners and other ships, including naval vessels, were built at West Bay until 1879.
