THE HISTORY OF BEAULIEU RIVER

presented by Mary Montagu-Scott

Mary is proficient in the history of all things maritime related to Beaulieu: the use of the river from the 13^th century by the monks of Beaulieu Abbey for transport and fishing, the wooden warships built in the 18^th and 19th centuries at Bucklers Hard, the construction of WWI and WWII naval vessels in the 20^th century, through to pleasure craft and dingy sailing in contemporary times.

This stimulating talk will span the centuries and the broad range of activities enabled by the river.

Admission free to members. Guests and non-members £5. Cash only please. No booking required.

Best regards,

John Pemberton
