Buckler's Hard was built by the second Duke of Montagu, and was intended to be a free port for trade with the West Indies. Its geography also favoured the development of shipbuilding, as the hamlet possessed access to a sheltered but navigable waterway with gravel banks capable of supporting slipways for vessel construction and launch. Timber for hulls was also readily available from the surrounding New Forest.
Shipbuilding at Buckler's Hard commenced in the early eighteenth century. A private shipyard adjoining the hamlet was established by James Wyatt, a local entrepreneur and timber merchant from Hythe on Southampton Water. Wyatt & Co. won a contract to build the Navy ship HMS Surprise in 1744, and subsequently another, HMS Scorpion, at Buckler's Hard. Henry Adams, a master shipwright, was sent from Deptford Dockyard to Buckler's Hard in 1744 by the Admiralty to oversee the building of these ships by Wyatt & Co. After the completion of the initial ships by Wyatt, Buckler's Hard grew to national prominence under Henry Adams and won subsequent Royal Navy contracts. Over the following sixty years, Adams would supervise the building of 43 Royal Navy ships at Buckler's Hard, including three that fought at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805: HMS Euryalus, HMS Swiftsure, and HMS Agamemnon.
Shipbuilding at Buckler's Hard declined in the nineteenth century. During World War II, the village was used to build motor torpedo boats, and the river was a base for hundreds of landing craft for the Normandy invasion, Operation Overlord. Today the hamlet is given over to tourism, with a small maritime museum and a modern yachting marina. Buckler's Hard was where Sir Francis Chichester began and finished his solo voyage around the world in the Gipsy Moth IV.

Hello Rob ! 👋
Thank you for this very nice video!
This place has a strong nautical past!
I was surprised by the small chapel, from the outside, you can walk past it without realizing that it's a chapel!
I also really liked the visit to the period houses with the simulations of the models.
It was really a great discovery! 😁
Merci !

Tx Simon, much appreciated. Yes Bucklers Hard is a very interesting place to visit, very different from 300 years ago! All the best, Rob
I enjoyed this historic village Rob, so peaceful and it was great to see the model of the village from 250 yrs ago, so interesting. Also amazing to think that ships were built by hand from wood from the New Forest and to see that ship workers cottage and get an idea of how they woukd have loved 200 yrs ago. That marina is so beautiful, hard to imagine the smugglers there 😃
Great look around tour here :) ~ Anna 👍
Tx Anna, as always. I'm pleased you found it interesting. It's a lovely village and free! All the best, Rob
Really interesting place. Only visited once and that was an afterthought late afternoon. We really did not have time to explore thoroughly just take a boat ride and a cursory look around the village. We promised to come back and see more of the area but that has not yet happened. We must make fresh efforts to head your way.
Hi Ivor. Yes, it's a very interesting village. The museum is worth visiting to get a sense of what the place was like 300 years ago. Hard to imagine! Tx for watching and best wishes, Rob
