Henry Wrigley on Harbours

There are three types of Harbour Authorities.

There’s the Council owned Harbour, there’s a Private owned Harbour, and then there’s a Harbour established by an Act of Parliament and that comes under the control of a Harbour Commission.

Cowes is a Cowes Harbour Commission, Newport is a Council owned Harbour, Bembridge is a Private owned Harbour, so you’ve got the whole system on one Island here.
