I take your point, but Written by KatherineA (3/18/2003 8:24 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, The Royal Naval Dockyard, Portsmouth, penned by StewartMcI

I was just wondering, even if JA did take a "tour" of the docks, where would this tour have actually gone, and would JA have had access to places generally thought unfit for a lady of her class to be present?

I also always thought Portsmouth to be a very prosperous sort of place, precisely because of the naval docks, in the 18th century, and in the early 19th century there was the development of Portsea.
