Chatham Dockyard : the rise and fall of a military industrial complex /Philip MacDougall. "Founded in 1750, Chatham Dockyard quickly became one of the most important naval yards for the construction and repair of warships, maintaining a preeminent position for the next 400 years. In this detailed new history of the yard particular attention is given to the final two hundred years of the yard's history, the artisans and laborers who worked there and the changing methods used in the construction of some of the finest warships to enter naval service."--Provided by the publisher. 2012. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 623.81(422.3)

The Deptford Royal Dockyard and Manor of Sayes Court, London : Excavations 2000-12 /Antony Francis "Deptford Royal Dockyard was established in the early 16th century and closed in 1869. Crucial to the maintenance of the nation's naval power, the dockyard grew from a single storehouse and wet and dry docks to a great complex including stores, slipways, mast docks and other structures supporting ancillary industries, such as sailmaking, timber- and ironworking. Shipbuilding was accompanied by constant repair and rebuilding as the dockyard worked to keep the navy at sea. In its time, the dockyard was visited by royalty and saw the launch of many famous ships. Most of the dockyard buildings were levelled in the 20th century, but important below-ground remains were investigated in 2000-12 in the largest-ever excavation of a naval dockyard. Integrating archaeological evidence with maps and written sources, this book traces the yard's development as it was developed and expanded to keep pace with advances in naval technology and the demands of empire, and throws light on life outside the yard for the workforce."--Provided by the publisher. 2017 • FOLIO • 2 copies available. 623.81(421.6)

Pembroke Dockyard and the old Navy : a bicentennial history /by L. Phillips. "The Royal Dockyard at Pembroke Dock produced over 250 warships for the Royal Navy, including five royal yachts, between its founding in 1814 and its closure after the First World War. Prior to this, no ocean-going ships had ever been built on the south shores of Milford Haven, where the most complex piece of machinery used was the horse-drawn plough. Yet within twenty years Pembrokeshire men were building major British warships and they did so for the next hundred years. This long century, from the Napoleonic Wars until after the First World War, covered all the major changes in warship design and construction, from wood to iron and then steel, and from sail to steam, and paddle wheel to screw propulsion. In this authoritative and splendidly illustrated work, naval historian Lawrie Phillips, who was born and bred just outside the dockyard walls, tells the story of this royal yard, its ships and the Pembroke men who built them."--Provided by the publisher. 2014 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 623.81(429.9)
