For over three hundred years some of the world's most famous admirals, explorers, buccaneers, and aristocrats captained ships and luxury yachts whose sails were made from the exceptional Coker Canvas - a much sought after sailcloth that became the standard of quality for the British Navy and other countries around the world. This book explores the history of sailmaking in East Coker and how this global ' brand' impacted the local area.
