Description

Nowhere in the world is it possible to see such an intact naval dockyard for the building and maintenance of the ships of the sailing navy as at Chatham.

This book, edited by Neil Cossons, Jonathan Coad, Andrew Lambert, Paul Hudson and Paul Jardine - all experts in their fields - brings together their combined knowledge to tell the dockyard’s history, from Elizabethan origins to fleet base and shipbuilding yard, from sail to steel to submarines.

They set out the extraordinary scale of the legacy and the challenges of the future once the yard closed in the 1980s.

This is a story of the creation of the Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust and the management of an outstanding historic asset for the benefit of the public.

Profusely illustrated, it is the first authoritative account of how Chatham’s dockyard was saved for the nation and managed for nearly forty years to exemplary standards.
