History and Development of Maritime London

Capt. William Wells

 

Starting in the year 43AD before London was settled, Captain Wells traces back to why this particular site was chosen to be the Roman colony’s new capital city. 

Looking through the various stages of development, invaders, wars, famine, plague and fire he follows the history and heritage of London and its Port to that which we know today.

Captain William Wells’ seagoing career lasted almost 49 years. A  Master Mariner, former ship’s captain and then harbour pilot, he is also a published author.
