"Hull" isn't that the body of a ship
Kingston upon Hull, or simply shortened to Hull, is a port city and unitary authority area in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.[3] It lies upon the River Hull at its confluence with the Humber Estuary, 25 miles (40 km) inland from the North Sea. It is a tightly bounded city which excludes the majority of its suburbs; with a population of 275,401 (2024), it is the fourth-largest city in the Yorkshire and the Humber region. The built-up area has a population of 436,300.
Hull has more than 800 years of seafaring history and is known as Yorkshire's maritime city.[4] The town of Wyke on Hull was founded late in the 12th century by the monks of Meaux Abbey as a port from which to export their wool. Renamed Kings-town upon Hull in 1299, Hull had been a market town,[5] military supply port,[6] trading centre,[7] fishing and whaling centre and industrial metropolis.[6] Hull was an early theatre of battle in the English Civil Wars.[7] Its 18th-century Member of Parliament, William Wilberforce, took a prominent part in the abolition of the slave trade in Britain.[8]
