This is a masterly, immensely readable and totally convincing
narrative of 500 years of this great and mightily important British
industryIn fact, this new book describes with great insight and
clarity the development, growth and decline of two industries:
first, the highly skilled trade of crafting wooden sailing ships;
and, second, the story of the iron and steel shipbuilding industry
that took its place.At one time dozens of small yards were busy
building the small wooden trading vessels that were the mainstay of
British trade with the world, but with the advent of steam power,
and of iron hulls, the British industry gradually became
concentrated in a few great shipbuilding regions such as the North
East, the Clyde and Belfast.
