About

Brian Lavery takes the reader on a journey around the ports and harbors of Britain's coast, across rivers and along canals, climbing up lighthouses and strolling down piers. He moves with consummate skill between topics as varied as the rise of the Royal Navy and the development of specialized fisheries, the motives behind exploration and emigration and the protection of our shores from invasion, to deliver an all-encompassing history that is accessible and revealing.

The pages are alive with tales of the great naval heroes, famous battles, legendary explorers and talented shipbuilders and architects. The book is rounded off with a Gazeteer of over 100 heritage sites.

Includes monochrome and colour images and drawings
