The Hamble rises at Bishop's Waltham in Hampshire and flows into Southampton water. It is a relatively small river but has an interesting and varied history. King Henry V's fleet was stationed on the river and one of Nelson's flagships, HMS Elephant, was built there in the 1800s. Drawing on printed and archival sources, and with a wealth of illustrations, this book traces the river from its source to the sea.
