Publication Details
The modern universal British traveller. 1770. Chap. VII. p. 479.The entrance into Dartmouth harbour is very narrow, but it afterwards opens, and forms a large bason [sic], capable of holding 500 sail of ships, where they may lay in safety without incommoding each other. At each side of the entrance are forts with guns planted on them, to prevent the attacks of foreign invaders. [
]The castle was antiently [sic] small, but it has been lately enlarged by the inhabitants with two roofs, a stone tower of sixty feet high, and a wooden spire of twenty.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
