About Fencing in Chatham
Chatham in Kent grew around its Royal Navy dockyard, which began storing vessels on the River Medway from around 1547 and became a major fleet base by the reign of Elizabeth I. Over more than four centuries the dockyard built and repaired over 400 warships, including HMS Victory, launched there in 1765, and it played a central role during conflicts such as the Anglo Dutch Wars and the Napoleonic Wars before finally closing in 1984. The former dockyard now survives as one of the most complete sites of its kind from the age of sail anywhere in the world.
