Description

The town of Dartmouth, situated on Devon's south coast, has a rich maritime history. As an important port during the Middle Ages and home to the English navy, its ships played a significant role in battles against the Spanish Armada in 1588. Today, the historic town that grew up around the harbour still holds many secrets unknown to visitors. Author Christine Donnelly delves into the stories behind Dartmouth's façade, revealing tales of remarkable characters and unusual events. From the lives of individuals like John Hawley, a mayor with pirate connections, to the experiences of William Veale, who lived as Robinson Crusoe in Dartmouth, this book explores the town's hidden history. With its unique blend of maritime heritage and intriguing stories, Secret Dartmouth is an engaging read for anyone interested in the history of this Devon town.
