When you enter The Ship Inn you are entering one of Fowey's oldest buildings.The inn was built in 1570 by John Rashleigh and is a remnant of his remarkable life story. John was the son of the prestigious Phillip Rashleigh who had held a commission from Queen Elizabeth as a privateer in her war with the Spaniards and who brought fame and riches to the port of Fowey. John Rashleigh, continuing his Father's tradition, sailed his ship 'The Frances of Fowey' to the Americas, accompanied by Frobisher and his cousins Drake and Raleigh. In July 1588 he left Fowey harbour to play his part in the defeat of the Spanish Armarda. The Ship Inn not only offers good food and real ale, but also comfortable accomodation. The principle bedroom has retained its original features of John Rashleigh's day and all other rooms have been tastefully restored to maintain their original, old-world feel
