The ports covered were Port Talbot, Briton Ferry, Swansea, Milford Haven, Pembroke Dock, and Fishguard.
Port Talbot and Swansea both grew out of the industrial revolution and maps and early photographs plotted their rise in importance. Briton Ferry now a small port was once home to Ward�s Shipbreakers, who broke up some notable warships during the last century. Moving round the coast to Milford Haven, which was said by Lord Nelson to be one of the finest harbours in the world. A diverse array of activities have been seen in the haven, with fishing in Milford Dock giving over to more Marina based activities although retaining the ship repair business. Pembroke Dock once a Naval dockyard is now a commercial port handling general cargo and aggregate, together with certain oilrig supply support vessels. The Ro-Ro Terminal provides ferry terminal facilitie and is used by Irish Ferries for their ferry service to Rosslare. The oil terminals and refineries dominate both sides of the haven. The journey ends at Fishguard situated on the north Pembrokeshire coast and has a Ro Ro terminal for Stena Lines ferry service to Rosslare. Although now a little out of date, this tape slide presentation is very interesting and informative guide to the ports on the South West Wales Peninsula.
