HistoryAt the entrance to the creek was the most westerly naval dockyard and victualling station in Britain, which, at high tide, covered {{convert|66|acre|ha}} of water.[3] During the second half of the 19th-century it was the base for HMS Ganges, a training ship for boys, and also the Falmouth Packets. During World War II the harbour was a base for operations conducted by the French Resistance. It is now home to the last remaining fleet of oyster fishermen.[4] RecreationCarrick Roads and Cornwall's English Channel coast are popular for yachting and dinghy racing.
