Ulsan Port, formerly called Yoem Port, was opened early in Joseon Dynasty as one of three leading ports(Busan Port, Je Port, Yoem Port). In modern times, UIsan Port was the natural fishing port of heaven's blessing where whaling and fishing was flourishing. In this way, Ulsan Port has been a port for trade, fishing as well as naval port with a long history.
