Connections for Chatham Dockyard and its Defences

Chatham Dockyard was one of the main naval bases of the British Royal Navy at the height of its imperial power. In the 18th century it was the primary base of the national fleet, however by the 19th century it had become the hub of ship production for one of the world’s most powerful navies. The dockyard is in Kent around 50km east of London and has been a museum since ship production stopped in 1984. This has protected the core of the 18th century dockyard and nearby coastal defences, meaning it is one of the best preserved naval dockyards from the age of wind powered sailing.
