Henry Adams (1713–1805) was a British Master Shipbuilder. He lived and worked at Bucklers Hard between 1744 and 1805.[1] His home is now The Master Shipbuilders House Hotel in Bucklers Hard.
Adams was responsible for building many famous ships during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. These included HMS Euryalus, HMS Swiftsure and Admiral Nelson's favourite ship, HMS Agamemnon, all of which fought at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.[2] He was also responsible for the construction of HMS Indefatigable which saw fame under Captain Sir Edward Pellew during the Action of 13 January 1797.
