Plymouth is a city on the south coast of Devon, England, about 310 km south-west of London. It is situated between the mouths of the rivers Plym to the east and Tamar to the west, where they join Plymouth Sound. Throughout the Industrial Revolution, Plymouth grew as a commercial shipping port, handling imports and passengers from the Americas. Today Plymouth's economy still has a maritime influence with respect to shipbuilding, but has become a more service-based economy since the 1990s.[1]
