Havre, 1858. Creator: Unknown
Havre, 1858. Le Havre is an important commercial and strongly-fortified town, at the influx of the Seine into the English Channel. It consists of long and narrow streets. The fronts of the houses are lofty, but have a heavy and mean appearance. The harbour, which has a long pier, is capable of containing 600 or 700 vessels, and has a depth sufficient to float ships of war of sixty guns. Havre is a place of great bustle and activity, being the seaport of Paris. The manufactures comprise sailcloth, cordage, tobacco, lace, and earthenware. Here are also several building-docks, and a sugar refinery. The fortifications of Havre wero brought to their present state of perfection by Bonaparte, who also improved the harbour and docks and erected two lighthouses. Its population is about 24, 000'.
