Designing and building ships in Nelson's time:
(1/14) The vessels of the Royal Navy were built in various dockyards across Britain. The designs were produced by the master-shipwrights of the dockyard. They usually worked in their studio known as the "mould-loft", situated not far from the dry docks and building slips.

The final part in the story of the six brave men that died near Nantwich in Cheshire, trying to defuse a bomb that was dropped during WW2. This brings to a conclusion, eight months of research.
