Opposite and overlooking the car-park in Pound Road, Lyme Regis is Coram Tower built to commemorate Captain Thomas Coram who was born here in 1668. A shipwright by trade, he spent much of his early life at sea eventually arriving at Taunton, Massachusetts where from 1694 to 1705 he operated a ship building business.
