Plymouth started as a small fishing village and has been an important English seaport for over 500 years. It was from Plymouth that the famous Mayflower set sail for the New World in 1620. Since then, countless navigators and pioneers, including Sir Francis Drake and Captain Bligh, have embarked from this port on voyages of exploration and settlement all over the world.
