morwellham quay is on the river tamar, and although it is about from the sea, the river is still tidal there. the quay was the furthest point inland to which the river was navigable, and it had served tavistock as a port since the twelfth century. ships of 200 tons were using the quay by 1800, and there was a growing trade in copper, which was being mined locally, particularly since the wheal friendship mine had opened around 1797. in 1802, john taylor, a local civil engineer with interests in the mining of metal ores, surveyed the route for a canal to run from tavistock to morwellham, and it was discussed at a meeting held in march 1803 in tavistock. the canal would be wide and deep, and the millhill slate quarries would be served by a branch from the main line. it would carry copper ore, both the wheal friendship and the wheal crowndale mine which had recently opened nearer to tavistock. other cargo would include slate, limestone and general goods. the canal would be suitable for tub-boats, and would be built entirely on land owned by the duke of bedford, who approved of the project. the estimated cost was £40,000, which included provision for testing any mineral lodes which were found during its construction, and the rights to those minerals, together with dues payable to the duke for their extraction, were negotiated before the project began.
