For three centuries Portsmouth has been the leading base of the
Royal Navy but the naval heritage of its port can be traced back to
the Roman invasion of Britain. From the Roman walls of Portchester
to the best-preserved Georgian dockyard in the world and the
illustrious HMS Victory, Portsmouth is amongst the most important
naval sites in the world. This fascinating book, in its new and
fully revised edition, focuses on the history and present status of
Portsmouth Historic Dockyard as well as the magnificent ships
Victory, Warrior and Mary Rose that have been preserved and are now
on display at Portsmouth. Drawing on impressive original research
and illustrated by a host of colourful photographs, author Paul
Brown has created a concise and helpful guide to the key maritime
attractions in Portsmouth and Gosport, including the Submarine
Museum, the sea forts, the Gunwharf and the commercial port.
