A mid-19th century view of Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire, Wales from a painting by Edward Henry Wehnert (1813–1868), an English-born painter of landscape. The town founded in 1790 by Sir William Hamilton, who designed a grid pattern is situated on the north side of the Milford Haven Waterway, an estuary forming a natural harbour and has been used as a port since the Middle Ages. It was originally intended to be a whaling centre, though by 1800 it was developing as a Royal Navy dockyard which it remained until the dockyard was transferred to Pembroke in 1814.
