The shipbuilding industry was an important part of the British economy in the decades before 1914, and the performance of the British economy during that period is the subject of much scholarly debate. This first modern history of the British shipbuilding industry between 1870 and 1914 examines activities and attitudes of the shipbuilders in the context of this controversy over the quality of British entrepreneurship.
