The Island of Portsea and its Naval Dockyard has played a permanent part in the history of England throughout the ages. This book hopes to remind citizens and friends of Portsmouth of the great heritage of this Naval City.
An account of the Spithead anchorage and Fortress Portsmouth dealing with invasion, sea power, land power, gunnery, armour, ballistics, ship construction and the science of fortification both in attack and defence over a thousand years as reflected in generations of effort to protect the anchorage and facilities on which mighty sea power depended.
The author paints a picture of Englands seashore and Islands. With a more reflective level he writes on preserving the past, in a maritime sense, in the London region and in the rest of England.
