Sunderland is a port city located at the mouth of the River Wear in the metropolitan county of Tyne and Wear in northeast England. Historically, the port traded coal and salt, and from the fourteenth century it had been a hub of shipbuilding. It was the first British town to suffer a cholera epidemic in 1831.
