The Friends of Sir Harry, dedicated to the life and times of Sir Harry (Burrard) Neale and the Burrard family of Walhampton, is pleased to announce a walking tour conducted by Mary Montagu-Scott who will describe the history of shipbuilding at Buckler’s Hard on the Beaulieu River”.

This tour will help illuminate the history of the famous Buckler’s Hard shipbuilding yard in the historic village of Buckler’s Hard where so many of the famous ships of the early British Navy were built over a 200 year period.

Mary, who is the Director of the Maritime Museum at Bucklers Hard, will take us around the shipyard and describe how and why the Beaulieu River yard came to be the largest private shipyard building ships for the Royal Navy in the Solent area as well as merchant ships and yachts. Over 50 large ships were built there from 1698 – 1815 including many famous ones such as Agamemnon, Nelson’s favourite ship, Euryalus and Swiftsure.
