Plymouth is Englands Ocean City. Situated on Englands South coast on the east bank of the River Tamar and the mouth of the River Plym.

It has been home to many historic people including Sir Francis Drake who allegedly completed a game of bowls after being told that the Spanish Armada was on its way. It is also famous for the Pilgrim Fathers setting sail for the new world on the Mayflower. It has so much history that it would take volumes to describe its past and current day. Other than to say it is still a thriving naval port with old and new alongside each other.

Created from one of my own images using Affinity Photo. Plymouth Breakwater is a stone breakwater, designed by John Rennie, protecting Plymouth Sound and the anchorages near Plymouth, Devon, England. It is nearly a mile long and is 43 ft wide at the top and the base is 213 ft. It lies in about 33 ft of water. Around 4 million tons of rock were used in its construction in 1812 at the then-colossal cost of £1.5 million (equivalent to £106 million today). On the western end there is a lighthouse. A beacon was placed at the eastern end of the breakwater, consisting of a 6-foot spherical cage on a 17-foot pole; the cage was designed as a refuge for six shipwrecked sailors
