Few industries attest to the decline of Britain's political and economic power as does British shipbuilding in its near disappearance in the course of the twentieth century. On the eve of the First World War, British shipbuilding produced more than the rest of the world put together. But by the 1980s, the industry which had dominated world markets and underpinned British maritime power accounted for less than one per cent of world output.
Throughout this decline, a remarkable relationship developed between the shipbuilding industry and the Government as both sought to restore the fortunes and dominance of this once great enterprise. This book is the first to provide an industry analysis of this period, based on the full breadth of primary sources available. It blends the records of central Government with those of the Shipbuilding Employers' federation and the Shipbuilding Conference, as well as records from individual yards, technical societies and the trade press.
