English term or phrase: loom

Hallo,

ich habe hier einen Text zur Geschichte der Städte Manchester und Liverpool, in dem eine Petition in Gedichtform zitiert wird:

"Revolutionary developments such as the Manchester Ship Canal united the whole region and its people, excited by the "purpose, possibilities and promise" of a shipping route into landlocked Manchester that would secure the position of north west industries in the world markets. Everyone got behind it - from the chairman in his Cheshire estate at Tatton Park to the mill owners of Lancashire. Although it did stir up some rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester, as printed in the Liverpool Mercury in February 1825, many years before the canal was actually built:

"Humble Petition of the Liverpool Corporation to the Manchester Projectors of the Grand Ship Canal.

Oh ye lords of the *loom*,

Pray avert our sad doom,

We humbly beseech on our knees;

We do not complain,

That you drink your champagne,

But leave us our Port if you please."

Mir mangelt es vermutlich an historischem Wissen, denn ich habe keinen blassen Schimmer, wie "loom" hier zu übersetzen ist.

Vielen Dank im Voraus!
