According to Wikipedia, the name "Weymouth Pine" commemorates Captain George Weymouth who was responsible for its introduction into the UK.

The magnificent pines in Weymouth, Dorset are Monterey Pines (Pinus radiata) - indeed there are more (and better specimens of) Monterey Pines in Weymouth than there are in its native Monterey penninsular in California.
