Restoration Deptford and the warship

Lenox

The former Deptford Royal Dockyard played

a leading role in the development of naval

ship-building technology. This role was

particularly significant in the Restoration period,

when Deptford was the focus of the thirty-ship

programme launched by Samuel Pepys in 1677.

Lenox was the first of these ships to be built; by

1700, these magnificent vessels were responsible

for elevating the Royal Navy to its position as the

world’s leading maritime power.

The Lenox Project and Deptford Is... have put

together a special study day focusing on

Deptford's dockyard in the Restoration period, and

in particular on the early naval history and ship-

building technology which the Lenox represents.

Speakers include the country's leading academics

and experts on the naval history of the time with a

line-up of the most prominent experts in this field

including Peter LeFevre, David Davies, Richard

Endsor, Peter Goodwin and Brian Lavery. We also

hope to present an update on the progress of the

Hermione Project in France, which inspired the

idea behind Build the Lenox.

The event will take place at the Master

Shipwright’s House in Deptford – former home of

John Shish, the king's master shipwright who was

responsible for designing and building the Lenox

and her sister ships. A buffet lunch will be served.
