	Devonport - LoveToKnow 1911
		On Mount Wise, which was formerly defended by a battery (now a naval signalling station), stands the military residence, or Government House, occupied by the commander of the Plymouth Coast Defences; and near at hand is the principal naval residence, the naval commander-inchief's house.
		The prospect from Mount Wise over the Hamoaze to Mount Edgecumbe on the opposite shore is one of the finest in the south of England.
		To this in 1853 was added Keyham steamyard, situated higher up the Hamoaze beyond the old boundary and connected with the Devonport yard by a tunnel.

		The Catwater and Hamoaze are flanked on the east and west respectively by high ground, on which are built forts that command the harbour and its approaches.
		The Victoria Park, reclaimed from a part of Stonehouse Creek, is under the joint administration of Plymouth, Stonehouse and Devonport.
		Within the boundaries of Stonehouse are the Royal Naval Hospital (1762), the Royal Marine Barracks (1795) in Durnford Street, and the Royal William Victualling Yard (1825), the last-named having frontage on the Hamoaze, which separates the Devon from the Cornish portion of the Stonehouse manor.

	Hamoaze Information
		Devonport Dockyard and the Hamoaze from the Rame Peninsula, Cornwall
		The Hamoaze (IPA: [ˈhɒmøz]) is an estuarine stretch of water at the point where the tidal River Tamar, the River Tavy, and the River Lynher enter Plymouth Sound.
		The Hamoaze flows past Devonport Dockyard, which belongs to the Royal Navy, and the presence of naval ships presents particular hazards to small watercraft.

		Hamoaze House helps people get off their habits, offering a carrot that complements the stick of the extra police sergeant and eight PCs paid for in the NDC area by NDC (whose costs are gradually being absorbed by Devon and Cornwall Police).
		Some of the funding for Hamoaze recently has come from seized assets from a local drug dealer - £6,000 was donated by the police to help pay for facilities that local children can use, such as trampolines and a 'junk' band.
		Hamoaze House has revenue costs of around £311,000 per year, the majority of which is covered by a cocktail of grants including £90,000 from the NDC.

		Whenever a naval ship passed into the Hamoaze estuary in Plymouth, the crew would salute the admiral's flag at Hamoaze House on the shore, while officers checked the vessel's tidiness through a telescope.
		Funded by charitable donations, local regeneration cash and the city's drug action team (DAT), the scheme is part of the innovative multi-agency drug strategy work taking place in Plymouth, an area that contrasts unfavourably with the rest of south Devon in the scale of its heroin and crack addiction rates.
		Hamoaze's approach was so untried and untested that it took a raft of donations from independent charities to get the project off the ground, and five years to acquire the building.

	GENUKI/Devon: Plymouth
		Plymouth stands between the Catwater and the Hamoaze, two arms of the sea which run from the corners of the Sound to the mouths of the Plym and Tamar.
		Plymouth harbour is formed by the Hamoaze, or estuary of the Tamar, and the Catwater, or estuary of the Plym, which, with other smaller arms, unite to form Plymouth Sound, which is about 3 miles in length, and 3 miles across at the opening.
		The Hamoaze is a station for ships of war, and has moorings for 100 sail, while the Catwater is used for merchant vessels, of which it will accommodate at least 1,000 sail, and is provided with wet and dry docks.

	Chapter Steam Hammer Pile-driver of Autobiography by James Nasmyth
		This was a large extension of the Devonport Docks, intended for the accommodation of the great steamships of the Royal Navy, as well as for an increase of the graving docks and workshops for their repair.
		An immense portion of the shore of the Hamoaze had to be walled in so as to exclude the tide and enable the space to be utilised for the above purposes.
		At first the feat of damming out such a high tide as that of the Hamoaze seemed very doubtful, because the stiff slate silt was a treacherous and difficult material to penetrate.

		Plymouth has a university, the University of Plymouth[?] which has a slight tendency to specialise in naval and maritime related disciplines.
		It is one of the primary gateways to Cornwall providing access by way of the Torpoint ferry across the Hamoaze, the mouth of the Tamar[?], and the Tamar bridge[?] linking the A38 through the St Budeaux[?] area of Plymouth on the Devon bank of the Tamar to Saltash[?] on the Cornish bank.
		The major rail link to Cornwall, the Royal Albert Bridge[?] runs side-by-side with the road bridge but, as its name suggests, it was built much earlier by Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

	Plymouth, Torpoint Ferry
		It was operated by rowing boats until 1829 when a steamboat modelled on one that had been introduced at Dundee in Scotland was introduced but this proved short-lived as it was found that it could not cope with the strong tides found in the Hamoaze.
		By this means the vessel was hauled across the Hamoaze.
		It was reckoned that the breadth of the vessel ensured stability to such an extent that motion was almost undecernable, thus preventing even the shyest of horses from being frightened.

		Previous attempts at providing both Sail and Steam Ferry's failed as a result of the tidal conditions in the Hamoaze at this stretch of the River Tamar.
		Rendel had already established practical cable ferry services at Dartmouth and proposed a solution based on a steam powered craft driving itself along chains anchored on each side of the 2750 foot wide Hamoaze.
		The chains were tensioned by counterweights on each bank allowing the shock loads associated with acceleration and braking to be absorbed.

		The lines consisted in the main of a wide deep dry ditch that ran from Stonehouse creek in the south to the Hamoaze in the north.
		By 1915, the military presence on Mount Wise was diminishing with the removal of the Western District (by now Wessex District) to Salisbury, Wilts and the transfer of the whole of Mount Wise, including the redoubt, to the Admiralty.
		Prior to the outbreak of World War 2 in 1937, proposals were made for a protected joint service HQ in the dry ditch near to Hamoaze House consisting of a single storey structure with a 20 ft concrete and shingle overburden.

	Torpoint Information
		Torpoint (Cornish: Penntorr) is a town in the far South East of Cornwall, United Kingdom, separated from the City of Plymouth by a stretch of water referred to as the Hamoaze, which itself is the mouth of the River Tamar.
		In the Cornish language Torpoint is called Penntorr, which is now also the name of a local folk band.
		It is a common tale that Torpoint's name is derived from Tar Point, a name given because of the initial industry on the west bank of the Hamoaze.

		First referred to on paper in 1584 as Ham-oze, then in 1643 as Hamwose it had become Hamoaze by 1824.
		Commonly believed to have come from Ham - a village or perhaps the inside bend of a knee - together with the Celtic 'usig', hence 'ooze', 'oaze' or 'wase', meaning the end of a tidal river there is another more colourful theory on the derivation of this name.

		King Charles II and his advisers inspected potential sites for a new dockyard in 1677 but it was not until the arrival of King William and his queen, Mary, from Holland in 1688 that any real progress was made.
		Early in 1690, a contract was drawn up for a stone dockyard to be built at the mouth of the river Tamar, in an area known as the Hamoaze.
		Buildings included storage and work areas, a rope house, cottages for workers and their overseers, wet and dry docks plus magazines for the storage of guns and ammunition - all built from stone quarried in close proximity to the Hamoaze.
