HAMOAZEThis fine harbour, which is completely land-locked, extends from Mount Edgcumbe to Saltash, is more than four miles in length, and of considerable breadth; its depth at high-water is above eighteen fathoms - at low-water about fifteen. In this spacious basin, which is part of the river Tamar, a great number of ships of war, of all classes, are laid up in ordinary, secured by immense chains, which nearly stretch from shore to shore.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
