Maryport lies at the northern end of the retired Cumberland Coalfield. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 11262 people. The economy of the area and the development of the industrial capacity of the town itself emerged predominantly thanks to mining and sea trade, however these industries have actually subsequently diminished and the town now relies upon tourism as the basis of its economy. There is an aquarium, a maritime museum and a Roman museum. The Roman museum is the home of a range of Roman artefacts, most notably a series of altars to Jupiter Optimus Maximus, which were excavated in the vicinity of the Roman fort. In July 2008, a new tourist venue, the Wave Centre, opened its doors. The Wave Centre is a theatre and conference facility, an interactive heritage exhibition on the regional history of Maryport, the Tourist Information Centre for Maryport and a gift shop and restaurant.
