The stather has been a port since at least <span itemprop="mentions">Roman times</span>.

John Wray & Son built ships on The Trent for more than a century from <time itemprop="foundingDate">1788</time> to <time itemprop="dissolutionDate">1892</time>. During this time the yard produced more than 300 ships, from large ocean going barques and schooners which travelled the entire globe, to local Humber sloops and fishing smacks for the Hull and Grimsby fleets which were booming in the late nineteenth century.</p> <h4>Ship Database</h4> <p>We are compiling a database of the ships built at Burton, you can explore this in the <a href="list" title="Ship List">Ship List</a> section of the site. Research is on-going so we don't have records for all vessels as yet, some have more detailed information than others. There are currently 283 ships in the database, 55 of them have stories written about them.
