The port of Plymouth has seen its share of action in the past. It was from here that Drake, Raleigh, the Pilgrim Fathers, Cook, Darwin and others set sail on their pioneering voyages. HM Naval Base Devonport, the largest naval base in Western Europe, is also located here. On our harbour cruise we viewed many of the historical sights of Plymouth from the water and also had great commentary about the Naval base and some of the ships that make up the Devonport Flotilla.
