geophysical surveys undertaken on the site of the Cattewater wreck in the lower reaches of the Plym River, Plymouth, UK, between 1997 and 2007. The work is part of a long-term project to collect geophysical data and use it to help locate shipwrecks and other cultural remains within Plymouth Sound and its estuaries. The Cattewater The Cattewater is the name given to the lower reaches of the River Plym, the river associated with the City of Plymouth in South West England. The Plym starts on the high ground of Dartmoor to the north-east and drains into the waters of Plymouth Sound at its north-east corner through a drowned river valley or ria. In times of a much lower sea-level, the deep-cut limestone gorge at the mouth of the River Plym met with the deep-cut limestone gorge at the mouth of the River Tamar to the west, before the confluence then

    Unlocking the potential of the global marine energy industry 02 South West Marine Energy Park Prospectus 1st edition January 2012 03 The SOUTH WEST MARINE ENERGY PARK is: a collaborative partnership between local and national government, Local Enterprise Partnerships, technology developers, academia and industry a physical and geographic zone with priority focus for marine energy technology development, energy generation projects and industry growth The geographic scope of the South West Marine Energy Park (MEP) extends from Bristol to Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, with a focus around the ports, research facilities and industrial clusters found in Cornwall, Plymouth and Bristol. At the heart of the South West MEP is the access to the significant tidal, wave and offshore wind resources off the South West coast and in the Bristol Channel. The core objective of the South West MEP is to: create a positive business environment that will foster business collaboration, attract investment and accelerate the commercial development of the marine energy sector. “ The South West Marine Energy Park builds on the region’s unique mix of renewable energy resource and home-grown academic, technical and industrial expertise. Government will be working closely with the South West MEP partnership to maximise opportunities and support the Park’s future development. ” Rt Hon Greg Barker MP, Minister of State, DECC The South West Marine Energy Park prospectus Section 1 of the prospectus outlines the structure of the South West MEP and identifies key areas of the programme including measures to provide access to marine energy resources, prioritise investment in infrastructure, reduce project risk, secure international finance, support enterprise and promote industry collaboration.

  • Naval & Garrison Towns
    Naval & Garrison Towns Plymouth is possibly unique in the UK in that, at one time, it had all four armed forces stationed in the City, the Royal Navy, the Army, the Royal Marines and the Royal Air Force. The earliest reference to Plymouth’s military history is in 1287 when Edward I used the port as the assembly point for his fleet to carry an army to France. Plymouth Castle was built in the early 1400s. A series of gun platforms and block houses had been added along the waterfront by 1540. Drake’s Hoe Fort of the 1590s was largely replaced by the Royal Citadel after 1665. Across the mouth of the Plym, Mount Batten Tower probably dates from about 1650. The Naval Dockyard on the River Tamar at Plymouth Dock, later renamed Devonport, was developed from the 1690s. It had its own defences, mostly constructed in the second half of the 18th century. The Plymouth Division of Marines was established in 1755 with the Marine Barracks at Stonehouse being opened in 1783. Much later, in 1916-7, the Royal Naval Air Service became established at Mount Batten and operated seaplanes and flying boats from the Cattewater. This, in turn, became RAF Mount Batten. The strategic position of Plymouth made it an appropriate location for permanent military establishments including the Royal Citadel and the Naval Dockyard. Further fortifications, victualling facilities, barrack blocks for the men and military hospitals followed; these included the Royal Naval Hospital, the extended Royal Marine Barracks and Royal William Yard, all in Stonehouse. Devonport had the Dock Lines and their associated barracks, plus the Military Hospital.

A few years after this in 1890 the quay was improved to take passengers. The idea was that Liner passengers would land by tender and be whisked to London and get there well in advance of those that stayed onboard and alighted at Southampton. There was then competition by the London and South Western Railway (LSWR) picking up from Ocean Quay with Brunel’s Great Western Railway (GWR) from Millbay.

Various regeneration approaches have been implemented over the years, with most involving central-government funding, but with different levels of partnership with the private sector and/or the local community.
