PLYMOUTH SOUND.  

'J'O the Anglo-Saxons, if not all English-speaking  

peoples, few towns in the world are surrounded  

by such â€˜ hallowed and ennobling associations 35 as  

Plymouth, the â€œPride of Devon.” Most Australian  

travellers are familiar with it as port of call â€œgoing  

or coming. â€™ Plymouth, great naval and commercial  

station, had its hours of agony during the second  

world war. It lived them through, manifesting the  

unconquerable spirit of Drake and Howard in Armada  

days, and of the Pilgrim Fathers, the Mayflower stone  

indicating the spot where these fighters for freedom of  

conscience sailed, in tiny craft of 180 tons, for the  

then unknown world. To many it may come as  

surprise to learn that Plymouth owes its inception to  

the fostering care of the Abbot and monks of the  

Benedictine Priory at Plymplon, four and half miles  

away. Its true expansion is possibly attributed to the  

splendid shelter afforded by the depth of the Sound,  

its direct projection into the land and the continuous  

height of the surrounding hills, which completely  

shelter these waters. So early as 1346 Plymouth was  

an important naval station. It was at the period of  

the threatened Armada invasion Plymouth came out  

in â€œthorough force.” In the Civil War Plymouth  

declared for the Parliamentarians. To Plymouth came  

Napoleon in 1815, prisoner, in H.M.S, Bellerophon,  

upon the gangway of which â€œthe great little Corporal â€™  

would frequently appear to bow to the excited people  

when boats from the shore crowded around the war-  

ship. Towards the middle of the last century Plymouth  

was an important port of departure for settlers bound  

to Australia, Admiral Sir John Hawkins, who corn-  

manded the rear of the fleet which defeated the  

Armada, was born here, as was also the great artist  

Samuel Front In late years, for obvious reasons,  

Plymouth has assumed an added Imperial importance.
