MARYPORT , a market town and seaport in the
Cockermouth
  parliamentary division of
Cumberland
 , England, 25 M. W.S.W. of
Carlisle
 , on the Maryport &
Carlisle
  railway. Pop. of urban
district
  (1901), 11,897. It is irregularly built on the shore of the Irish Sea and on the cliffs above, at the mouth of the river Ellen. Until 1750 there were only a few huts here, the spot being called Ellenioot, but at this time the harbour was built by
Humphrey
  Senhouse. In 1892 Maryport became an independent port with
Workington
 , Whitehaven and Millom subordinate to it. Coal and pig-
iron
  are exported from the
mining
 
district
  inland, and shipbuilding is carried on. There are also rope and sail works,
iron
 -foundries, saw-mills, breweries and tanneries. On the hill north of the town there is a Roman fort which guarded the
coast
 , and many remains of this period have been discovered. The fort was called Uxellodunum.
