This is the first book ever written about Wales' part in naval
history. Based on extensive research, it tells a compelling story
that spans nearly two thousand years, from the Romans to the
present. Many Welshmen - and women - have served in both the Royal
Navy and the navies of other countries. Welshmen played major parts
in voyages of exploration, in the navy's suppression of the slave
trade, and in naval warfare from the Viking era to the Spanish
Armada, in the American Civil War, both World Wars and the
Falklands War. Britannia's Dragon tells their stories in vivid
detail. The navy also did much to shape Wales itself. The town of
Pembroke Dock was created by the country's only Royal Dockyard,
while the expansion of the coal and copper industries was largely
driven by the navy. Comprehensive, enlightening and provocative,
Britannia's Dragon also explodes many myths about Welsh history,
arguing that most Welshmen in the sailing navy were volunteers not
pressed men, and that relative to the size of national populations,
proportionally more Welsh seaman than English fought at Trafalgar.
