Scope and Content
The stranger's handbook to Plymouth, Devonport, Stonehouse, River Tamar, and vicinities. Devonport: W. Wood, 1850. Fifth Edition. p. 10. The port of Plymouth extends to all the harbours, rivers, and creeks between Looe on the west, and the river Yealm on the east; but its pilotage district extends eastward as far as Start point, though no master of a vessel is compelled to take a pilot, except going into or coming out of the ports within a line drawn from Rame-head to the Mewstone. During the late long protracted war, Plymouth was content with its resources as a great naval and military station, and paid but little attention to trade and commerce with the colonies of foreign countries. [
] A considerable trade is now carried on with America, the Mediterranean, the West Indies, the Baltic, &; and here are now consuls or vice-consuls for about thirty different nations.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
