Product Description
Product Description
For three centuries Portsmouth has been the leading base of the Royal Navy, although its history as a port can be traced back to Roman times. From the Roman walls at Portchester to the best preserved Georgian dockyard in the world, and HMS Victory the most illustrious survivor from the sailing navy, Portsmouth can lay claim to being the most important naval site in the UK and, perhaps, the world. Certainly, no other dockyard can claim to be as complete and to have as varied a selection of buildings from all periods as Portsmouth. Of course, it is not just the port's naval heritage that is important. The town is one of the major ferry ports of the UK, with services to Gosport, the Isle of Wight and France. Shipbuilding is also important, with Vosper Thorneycroft still building vessels at the port. Maritime Portsmouth is an invaluable guide to this most historic of ports.
