About this product

Product Information

With the coming of the naval arms race with Germany, in 1903 the Admiralty decided to establish a naval base and dockyard at Rosyth, taking advantage of deep tidal water there. Construction work started in 1909 and the dockyard was finished in 1916, when the pre-Dreadnought HMS Zealandia entered dry dock there. The yard closed in 1925, reopening in 1938 when relations with Germany began to deteriorate again and serving throughout the Second World War. During the Cold War, Rosyth was used to refit conventional and Polaris nuclear-armed submarines as well as other warships. In 1997 Rosyth was acquired by Babcock International, becoming the first privatised naval dockyard in Britain, and is now the site where the Royal Navy's two new Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers are being assembled. In this book, published in the dockyard's centennial year, Walter Burt takes us through the history of Rosyth dockyard and naval base.

  • Good pictures but otherwise...

    Nice little book with some very interesting photos. However the captions are written in a very parochial manner, almost as if the book is aimed specifically at locals or ex-dockyard workers. This is especially so for the latter part of the book with Rosyth’s more recent history. If you can get the book at a good price it’s not bad value but it’s certainly not worth the £14.99 cover price.

  • lightweight book with a very limited scope.

    Was looking forward to a good read all about the Ships and men I served on and with when stationed at Rosyth naval dockyard, but in all honestly this book in my opinion is not for the naval enthusiast but more for the civilian employees of the yard not for ex service men.
