Dartmouth, Maritime town in South Hams, England
Located at the mouth of the River Dart, Dartmouth features stone buildings, narrow streets, and a natural harbor along the English Channel coast.
The town served as a departure point for the Crusades in 1190, when Richard I's fleet gathered before sailing to the Holy Land.
The Britannia Royal Naval College, established in the 1800s, continues to train officers of the Royal Navy in maritime operations and leadership.
Regular passenger ferries connect Dartmouth to neighboring Kingswear, while water taxis provide transportation along the River Dart throughout the day.
Thomas Newcomen, born in Dartmouth in 1663, created the first practical steam engine, with a working model displayed in the town museum.
