Hamoaze

The Hamoaze is an estuarine stretch of the tidal River Tamar, between its confluence with the River Lynher and Plymouth Sound, England. It is a sheltered anchorage, if somewhat hard to reach; Naval ships often anchor in nearby Cawsand Bay. The Hamoaze is the Naval anchorage for Plymouth and its Dockyard. (The other main Naval anchorages are at Spithead and the Nore, which both had ships involved the Great Mutinies of 1797.
