A portrait view of a harbour scene at Whitehaven, Cumbria, England. In the foreground is a weathered wooden mooring post on the West Pier constructed of large sandstone blocks with the West Pier Lighthouse at the mouth of the harbour (1841 restored 2025) painted white with its prominent red trim in the background. The lighthouse flashes a green light once every 5 seconds, which is visible for 8 nautical miles. In the 18th century, Whitehaven was England's third port, after London and Bristol, rich on coal exports and tobacco imports. The Georgian town had been laid out on a grid pattern by the Lowther family, the first planned town in Britain. Many historians believe that Whitehaven was the blueprint for the New York City street grid system. George Washington's grandmother lived and is buried in Whitehaven. John Paul Jones founder of the American Navy raided the town in 1778 during the American Revolutionary War. It was the only American raid on the British mainland. Jones was born in Scotland and first sailed as an apprentice out of Whitehaven, where he served on merchant and slaving ships. Later, in America, he joined the revolutionary Continental Navy, and while harrying British shipping, conceived a plan to assault the port of his apprenticeship. It would have been a mighty coup against one of Britain's biggest ports, but let down by a drunk and mutinous crew, he damaged only one of the two hundred boats in dock, though he did spike Whitehaven's defensive guns. In the United States his reputation ebbed and flowed with the years after his death in 1792, and not until 1913 was he granted full honours as a naval hero.
