New Grimsby harbour History
New Grimsby Harbour is a historic harbour located on the eastern side of the island of Tresco in the Isles of Scilly, off the southwestern coast of Cornwall, England. The harbour has a rich history dating back to the 16th century when it was used by local fishermen and traders.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, New Grimsby Harbour became an important centre for the export of local goods such as granite, tin, and wool. The harbour was also used as a base for privateers who preyed on Spanish and French ships during the Anglo-Spanish War and the Napoleonic Wars.
