Indeed it continued for centuries to occupy a position among the Scottish seaports.
The importance of Wick as a trading port began in 1808, when the harbour was constructed and Pulteney- town founded by the British Fishery Society. From that time there was a rapid extension in the export trade in herrings, and the population of Wick soon exceeded that of Thurso. About 1840 regular steam communication was established between Wick and Aberdeen.
From that year until the extension of the railway to... Wick and Thurso in 1874, the steamers of the Orkney and Shetland Steam Navigation Company provided the chief means of transport of Caithness produce to the southern markets as weU as of import of necessary commodities. There soon followed a reduction in the number and tonnage of coasting vessels, which had for many generations maintained the trade of Caithness with the outer world. The extension of the railway was a further blow to this coasting trade, which has now shrunk to a few vessels in the coal trade.
