Facing each other across the River Lynher.


Moored at  Jupiter Point, close to where the River Lynher flows into the River Tamar, 
is the former Royal Navy minehunter HMS Brecon. now a seamanship training vessel.
She is part of Navy shore establishment of HMS Raleigh, through which all Navy recruits pass.


On opposite bank is the tiny hamlet of Anthony Passage. 
For over 600 years the two were joined by a ferry.


The first record of the ferry can be dated to 1324,


and the regular service from this little harbour finally ceased in the 1950s.
