BOOK LAUNCH AT HANCOCK'S YARD

Saturday 29th September afternoon saw the launch of our Secretary David James’ latest book ‘Hancock’s Shipbuilding Company in Pembroke Dock: the ships and the men who built them’.  Appropriately, the event took place in Hancock’s Yard, which is where we are now based.  

David is a well known local personality, author of several maritime books and a popular speaker.  His popularity is such that the book launch, organised by Pembroke & Monkton Local History Society, drew large numbers.  The Society has a publications’ arm and this is its third major local history book.
