Nicholsville Bridge over the HumberAutumn on the Humber
James Cook first charted the Humber in the summer of 1767.[1] It was named for its English counterpart the Humber (estuary).[2]
The Humber is rich in Atlantic Salmon, and was from the 1800s used as a waterway for European trappers and loggers.[3] It is one of the world's best recreational salmon fishing rivers.[4]
