Admiralty House, on the high ground of Mount Wise was completed 1793,
from whence the Military Commander could monitor all shipping movements
in and out of the River Tamar, en route to and from the Naval Dockyard at Devonport.
The Ocean Court apartment complex was built nearly two hundred years later, at water level,
so that boat owners could keep a careful eye on their craft and be ready to set sail within minutes.
