The name Plymouth was very familiar to me from childhood as the name of a car. But during my stay in UK I learned that it is a port in Western Britain. Once it was a very small port. But navigators like Drake, James Cook, Darwin and the Pilgrim Fathers set their journeys from here .Now it is a big city-rebuilt after wartime bombing.
Sir Francis Drake(c1510-1596) was the first English navigator who went around the globe .H e was knighted by Elizabeth I in1580.Four years later he introduced tobacco and potatoes to England.
