Plymouth is a port city on the south coast of Devon, some 36 miles (58 km) southwest of Exeter. Settlement in the area dates back into the Bronze Age and it was a Roman trading post. The city became an important shipping port, handling imports and passengers from the Americas, and exporting local minerals. A Royal Navy dockyard was constructed in 1690 at nearby Devonport, now incorporated into Plymouth, which, today, is the largest operational naval base in Western Europe. During World War II, this important naval presence led to the German military targeting and partially destroying the city by bombing. |
