Customer Reviews: Excellent, Well Illustrated May 25, 2005 John Hamill (Roanoke, VA) If you have any interest in the royal dockyards and other naval infrastructure, you need to get this book. Focusing mainly on the Georgian navy, the book gives an excellent overview of the services that the dockyards provided, the work that was done within the specific buildings, and a history of their development. Perhaps the only flaw of this book is that the many illustrations are black and white. These many photos and maps show the layouts of the several dockyards and the appearances of the buildings; especially appealing are the 18th century aerial views.
