Chatham historic dockyard : world power to resurgence
2021
Books
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 tells the dockyard's history, from Elizabethan origins to fleet base and shipbuilding yard, from sail to steel to submarines. It sets 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.
