Emigrants left Britain in large numbers to build a new life. Plymouth was already famous as the departure point of Mayflower with the Pilgrim Fathers. During the 19th century Plymouth became the 3rd busiest point of departure.
Aside from the geographic advantage and the coming of railways, Plymouth offered a custom build depot highly organized to government specification, clean and including banking and medical attention. Even better, trains were met so people from all over the British Isles knew they would not be robbed at Plymouth.
