Grimsby

Grimsby, also Great Grimsby, is a large coastal English seaport and administrative centre in North East Lincolnshire, on the South Bank of the Humber Estuary, close to where it reaches the North Sea. It was the home port for the largest fishing fleet in the world by the mid-20th century, but fishing declined dramatically after the Cod Wars denied the United Kingdom access to Icelandic fishing grounds, and the European Union parcelled out fishing quotas in waters within a 200-nautical-mile limit of the UK coast to other European countries, in line with its Common Fisheries Policy.
