Abstract:By the end of the nineteenth century shipbuilding at Shoreham in West Sussex had declined to the point of extinction, leaving only a residual yacht and boat building industry; it appeared at that time very unlikely that substantial shipbuilding would ever resume at the port.
However, due to the extreme situation brought about by the First World War shipbuilding, operations at Shoreham were to enjoy a brief, if somewhat unusual, revival between 1918 and 1920.
