About this product

Product Information

Formed in remote times by cataclysmic natural forces, the Falmouth Estuary evolved into one of the largest and most beautiful harbours in the world. For hundreds of years its deep-water channels adn quiet creeks, sheltered by tree-clad shores, have provided mariners with protection from storm and enemy alike. Over the centuries ships manned by crews from many countries have graced the waters of the Fal, emphasising its importance in international maritime affairs. Within the haven, ships were built; sailing ships to carry Cornish products to far-away harbours, to return with raw material and luxuries otherwise unobtainable. There were also smaller craft such as lugger, smacks and punts, for fishing, carrying, ferrying and for leisure. The need for such craft increased in parrell with the growth and Falmouth. many small shipyards were established, especially around the latter town developing near the harbour entrance. The tide mills and most of the old shipyards of Falmouth have now gone, vanished beneath modern development. This work is an attempt to bring them back to life, and establish them in their rightful place within the broader history of a great West Country port. David Wilson has had many years experience in amateur archaeology, local history studies and sailing traditional craft. Following a career as a Thames lockkeeper he retired in Cornwall. Falmouth Haven: The Maritime History of a Great West Country Port will appeal to lovers of maritime history and those with an interest in the Falmouth area.

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
