Humber Estuary

The Humber Estuary is formed at Trent Falls [Map] at the confluence of the River Trent and River Ouse.

John Evelyn's Diary. 19th August 1654. We pass the Humber, an arm of the sea of about two leagues breadth. The weather was bad, but we crossed it in a good barge to Barton [Map], the first town in that part of Lincolnshire.
