The Society for Nautical Research is pleased to present this year’s Anderson Medal, for the best maritime publication, to Richard Endsor for his book The Master Shipwright’s Secrets: How Charles II built the Restoration Navy.

The event is free to all those interested, but please confirm your attendance by emailing Sally Archer, Research & Heritage Partnerships Manager, at the National Maritime Museum at sarcher@rmg.co.uk, (this is important so we know how many people to cater for).
