Scope and Content
Wright, W. H. K. Illustrated handbook to Plymouth, Stonehouse & Devonport. Plymouth: W. H. Luke, 1879. p. 104. Having reached the summit of this hill we turn our faces seaward, and are rewarded by a very fine view of the Sound, Staddon Heights, the Cattewater, and some portion of the spreading towns.[
] Previous to the erection of the Breakwater, the harbour of Cattewater was exposed to the full force of the south-west gales, and the shipping suffered considerably. The Harbour of Cattewater is the outlet through which the river Plym falls into the Sound, between the Citadel and Mount Batten, and is capable of giving anchorage to a thousand sail of merchant ships.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
