Chatham Dockyards

Image
A dockyard has existed at Chatham since the 1500s, however none of those old tutor structures survive today. A dockyard has existed on the current Chatham Historic Dockyard site, located in Kent, England, since the 1600s. The Chatham Dockyard has been a major part in the Royal Navy given it's status as a Royal Dockyard. Two ships built in Chatham fought against the Spanish Armada during 1588, and Admiral Nelson's flagship which fought at the Battle of Trafalgar was built here. As the ships became too big for Chatham, this dockyard found it's purpose go from building battleships to building submarines; and so it gained a specialism in submarine construction.  For both world wars, Chatham returned to being a fleet base with new Royal Naval Barracks being constructed to the east of the Victorian Dockyard extension.
