The port of Manham is located in beautiful and peaceful countryside, on a bend in the great River Avon,
Manham港口位于美丽平静的乡间，地处伟大的埃文河河湾。
and developed here because it's the highest navigable point of the Avon — boats can go no higher up this river
这里能够发展起来主要得益于它是埃文河最高的通航点（这条河上的船只最高只能航行到这里），
and proved a handy place to load and unload cargo to and from the sea, which is over 23 miles away.
而且事实证明，由于这里离海岸只有23英里，是个给来往船只装卸货物的极佳地点。
A small port was already established here when, about 900 years ago, tin was discovered nearby,

though it wasn't until the Industrial Revolution when a tremendous need for metals of all kinds developed that Manham expanded to become one of the busiest ports in the country.
