    Leaving Home: Those who arrived via the Humber to settle permanently in Britain would arrive at either Hull (from Bremen, Libau and Hamburg) or Grimsby (from Hamburg, Antwerp or Rotterdam). Between 1891 and 1901, approximately 30,000-70,000 Russian and Polish nationals arrived through these Humber ports. Of these, the majority (63 per cent) arrived via Grimsby.
