PLYMOUTH PORT
ITS FACILITIES AND ADVANTAGES
THE CHINA MAIL,
intéresting details of the facilities. which Plymouth Harbour can offer to the shipowner, the merchant, and com- merce generally are contained in the following article culled from the Bri- tish Coasting and Near Tradee Ship owners' Association circular:
Plymouth is the gateway into Eng- land from the cecan. Famous for cen- turies as the port, of departure for maritime adventure to all parts of the world, it is now the most convenient port of arrival for passengers to Eng land and to Europe. It geographical position at the entrance to the English, Channel, together with its sheltered position, make it a natural anchorage on this side of the great ferry between America and Europe.
Plymouth Sound, where the ocean liners ancher, is a deep and broad har bour, protected by a mile long break- water, where a whole ravy may ride out the fiercest storm in perfect safe. ty. It is the easiest harbour on the coast to make and the services be-
tween America and England, via Fly- mouth, have been reduced to almost the minute exactitude of a railway Lime-tuble.
Passengers landing at Plymouth take advantage of the shortest sca passage. They avoid the voyage through the narrow and populous waters of the Channel to the more easterly ports and save many hours on the journey to London or, indeed, to any part of the British Isles.
