From muddy creek to naval-industrial powerhouse; from constructing wooden walls to building Dreadnoughts; from maintaining King John’s galleys to servicing the enormous new Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers: this is the story of Portsmouth Dockyard. Respected maritime historian Paul Brown’s unique 800-year history of what was once the largest industrial organisation in the world is a combination of extensive original research and stunning images. The most comprehensive history of the dockyard to date, it is sure to become the definitive work on this important heritage site and modern naval base.
DR PAUL BROWN is a renowned historian and academic from a naval family and with a lifelong interest in maritime affairs and the history of Portsmouth. He is secretary of the Naval Dockyards Society. His previous works include Maritime Portsmouth and Historic Sail (both History Press).
