This classic history of New Quay, in west Wales, has long been out of print and has now been revised and updated by the author. Fully illustrated, it relates the story of the development of New Quay from the late seventeenth century as a major centre of ship owning and shipbuilding and a busy port, until it became an important role player in the great British boom in the nineteenth century. Even when its great days as a port were over New Quay continued to make a notable contribution to Britain's mercantile fleet through its sailors.
