Abstract:		 The volume of cargo-carrying commercial shipping which used the Sussex Ports (Rye, Newhaven, Shoreham, Arundel and Chichester) increased at least five fold between 1701 and 1789-90 and about three fold between 1789-90 and 1841 (when railway competition began). This represents an annual average growth rate of 2 to 2½%. Rates of growth varied substantially between ports. Coastal imports expanded relatively faster than other branches of trade, reflecting the decline of local self-sufficiency in foodstuffs and fuel. Foreign trade declined as a proportion of the whole. The average tonnage of vessels increased at least threefold, 1701-1841, thanks to harbour imporvements which began in the 1720s and are described. Commodities specifically discussed are corn, timber and underwood, coal, wool, hops, fish, iron, chalk, boulders, animal products, salt, stone and manufactured goods. The coasting trade with London is considered separately.
