General notes
In 1814 a shipyard was established in Freckleton, although the village had been used as a port for many years prior to that.and the first ocean going vessel was built in 1871. In later years the shipyard serviced all the lifeboats in the North West of England. As a port, cargoes of wood, grain and slate arrived, mainly from Connahs Quay on the river Dee and sometimes from as far afield as Ireland. Coal was unloaded daily coming from Wigan up the river Douglas to Freckleton.
