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.
