Ropemakers: Memories of Chatham Do…

United Kingdom | 2007

Generations passed through the iron gates of Chatham Dock Yard. Behind the walls giant cogs whirred, men and women lived segregated lives and bells chimed the hours. It was a community that scarcely changed in 300 years. Told in their own words, Ropemakers charts the history of the men and women who worked in the Yard. A lyrical and intimate portrait of a lost world.
