The Royal Harbour Ramsgate, whilst
having modern facilities, has an interesting historical background,
dating back to Roman times, with many features still in existence.
The Harbour was given it Royal title in 1821 when George IV sailed
from Ramsgate to Hanover and back. He was so taken with the
hospitality given to him by the people of Ramsgate that he decreed
Ramsgate Harbour should have the right to add 'Royal' to its name.
It is the only 'Royal' harbour in the United Kingdom.
Thanet District Council is committed
to customer care and constantly strives to improve services within
the Harbour.
