A coloured scheme for fortifying the island of St Nicholas, or Drake's Island, in Plymouth Sound

Plan of Plymouth harbour with particular attention to St Nicholas Island thought to have been drawn by a French or Dutch artist. It is said that when he was a child, Sir Francis Drake was sent here by his parents for protection at a time of civil disturbance. In the 18th century the island was renamed Drake’s Island in his memory but until the mid 19th century it was still referred to as St Nicholas Island. The island was first fortified in the 17th century and was important because it was situated in the centre of Plymouth Sound and protected the approaches to the harbours and the estuaries of the rivers Tamar and Plym.

General Plan of the Ports of Homouse and Plymouth

Plan of the Ports of Hamoaze and Plymouth in Devon. This is the point where the rivers Tamar, Tavy and Lynher enter Plymouth Sound. Proposals for a dockyard at Hamoaze were first proposed by Sir Francis Drake in the late 16th century. It was felt that the broad estuary here afforded excellent natural protection however it was not until 1690 that work began here. William III appointed Edmund Dummer, surveyor to the Royal Navy, to build the dock and it became known as Plymouth Dock. By the 19th century Plymouth Dock was actually bigger than Plymouth itself and in 1824 it became independent, the town and the dockyard becoming known as Davenport. This is now the largest naval base in Western Europe.

A chart of Plymouth Sound, with "il novo recinto della fortificatione de la ville de Pleymouth;"

This is a plan of the area around Plymouth Sound. It is orientated to the south with Penlee point to the south west and Bovisand Bay south east. It dates from 1601-1602 and may show the proposals of the Italian engineer Frederico Genibelli. Genibelli had been sent by the Privy Council in response to requests by the governor of the fort, Sir John Gilbert, that defects in the fortifications be repaired. Plymouth Sound is situated in such a way as to make it an ideal invasion target as although geographically far from heart of national government Plymouth was accessible to the outside world, especially France and Spain and provided access to centre of the country. This plan illustrates the position occupied by the fort in relation both to the town and to its surrounding countryside, although the latter is inaccurately portrayed out of scale. The town of Plymouth is surrounded by a perimeter wall. Beacons are shown at Staddon, Maker and Penlee, highlighting the measures in place to raise the alarm in case of invasion. When surveying the deficiencies in the defences of the fort and island, Genibelli outlined a new scheme for fortifying the town with nine ravelins at a cost of £3000. These are outworks which consist of two faces which form a salient angle. The proposed scheme is clearly shown here but was not carried out by the government. Genibelli, Frederico
