About the book >.>.> FAMILY tradition going back for some two centuries is a great inheritance in an individual business like shipbuilding and the story of the White family of Broadstairs in Kent and Cowes Isle of Wight is a particularly interesting one. The first arrival of the family in the Isle of Thanet and its connection with shipbuilding are lost in history but local tradition always unreliable links them with the Armada Fight and the little ships which put out from the Kentish Coast with badly needed supplies when the fireships drove the enemy out of Calais Roads.
