ISBN: 9781848686359 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Chatham is a town that has been undergoing change for the last five hundred years. It all began with the arrival of the naval dockyard in the sixteenth century. From this, a town was created which began to grow with the rapidity of a Chatham built warship.

What better time can there be for a book on Chatham that not only looks at the past but also the present? While many of...

Secret Gillingham
ISBN: 9781445689258 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. The modern town of Gillingham grew up on the banks of the River Medway around the Royal Naval Dockyard of Chatham, most of which actually lay within Gillingham. The sixteenth century saw the expansion of the one-time fishing and farming village of ‘Jyllingham’ into a town. The population of the town expanded as the dockyard, with its accompanying fortifications around the Medway, grew, and today Gillingham is the largest town in the Medway area. In this book Philip MacDougall investigates Gillingham’s past, including many lesser-known and secret events, including a hidden English...

Naval Resistance to Britain's Growing Power in India, 1660-1800: The Saffron Banner and the Tiger of Mysore
ISBN: 9781843839484 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Most books on the colonisation of India view the subject in Eurocentric imperial terms, focusing on the ways in which European powers competed with each other on land and at sea and defeated Indian states on land, and viewing Indian states as having little interest in naval matters. This book, in contrast, reveals that there was substantial naval activity on the part of some Indian states and that this activity represented a serious threat to Britain's naval power. Considering the subject from an Indian point of view, the book discusses the naval activities of the Mahratta Confederacy and...

Chatham Dockyard, 1815-1865: The Industrial Transformation
ISBN: 9780754665977 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 428 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. By the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the seven home dockyards of the British Royal Navy employed a workforce of nearly 16,000 men and some women. On account of their size, dockyards add much to our understanding of developing social processes as they pioneered systems of recruitment, training and supervision of large-scale workforces. From 1815-1865 the make-up of those workforces changed with metal working skills replacing wood working skills as dockyards fully harnessed the use of steam and made the conversion from constructing ships of timber to those of iron. The impact on industrial...
