As a strategically vital access route to southern England and as the
anchorage for Portsmouth, Britain’s premier naval base, the waters
of Spithead reflect much of the UK’s naval history. They have seen
piracy and battles, countless departing and returning fleets, royal
visits and naval reviews, courts martial and the ‘Spithead Breeze’
mutiny of 1797. Originally published in 1972, this book draws together
the many and varied strands of history that have given Spithead its
significance.
