The Garlandstone is currently berthed at Morwellham Quay on the River Tamar estuary. She was built in 1909 a little further downstream on the now silted-up quays of Calstock, to ship ore down to the open sea and abroad. Cornwall’s mines have long since closed, and only pleasure craft venture upstream now.
The contrast between the silent upper reaches of the Tamar and the port traffic of Plymouth Sound has to be seen to be believed.

That’ll be HMS Argyll crossing in front of West Hoe, hope you enjoyed some of our local waters!
Mark,
Your travels are inspiring!
Well, it’s been wonderful fun, but this is all easy to do. All you have to do is hop into/ onto a kayak and paddle away from shore – adventures aplenty await (alliteratively aligned).
