Research on Portsmouth Dockyard compiled by Mark Edwin Pescott Frost.

When the Portsmouth Dockyard records were transferred to the National Maritime Museum in 1935, Pescott Frost presented the transcripts he had made from them. The present collection consists chiefly of notes on various subjects, with relevant extracts arranged chronologically. Much useful information is contained in these notes, and there are a few original documents, including one general plan showing the growth of the dockyard from the time of Henry VIII, which was made during the last century. Some of his papers were presented to the municipal museum at Portsmouth including copies of the various articles he published in local papers.
