- Title:
- Staying Afloat: Recollections of Portsmouth Dockyard 1950-present
- Description:
- Staying Afloat takes you through the history, changes, and developments of the Royal Dockyard in Portsmouth from 1950 to 1999. As the largest employer in Portsmouth in 1950, this dockyard for the British navy was a symbol of economic prosperity and pride for citizens of the community. The dockyard was also a site of local identity. This text offers individual experiences of dockyard life, including changes in the work environment, the influence of new technology, and the effect of extending apprenticeships to women. It ultimately tells a complicated story of change at an industrial and naval site during the second half of the twentieth century.
