Doveras pilsētas mērs, Councillor Neil Rix became Speaker of the Cinque Ports in the historic annual “septennial revolution” ceremony. Karalis Henrijs III piešķīra Cinque ostu konfederāciju savu pirmo zināmo hartu 1260 Apvienojot galvenās piekrastes pilsētas Anglijas dienvidaustrumos aizsardzības aliansē. Konfederācija uztur saikni ar vēsturisko mantojumu un strādā, lai šodien reklamētu jūras un jūrniecības prasmju vērtību sabiedrībā. The Speaker acts as Chairman and principal representative of the Confederation in a role that goes back continuously over 600 gadi līdz vismaz 1357.
The Cinque Ports are known as the cradle of the Royal Navy and Dover is still one of the UK’s major ports. Many Dover people have links with the Port themselves or through family members. The Royal Navy Ship HMS Kent visited the Town recently and Marine Skills Academy opened last year aimed at training the men and women who will take Dover’s marine tradition forward in the 21st Century.
