Edited sentence: Numerous vessels were built for the Royal Navy at private shipyards at Bursledon, although a claim that two eighty-gun ships were constructed at Bursledon during the reign of William IV is untrue.[1] Although most of the construction of these ships was carried out in Bursledon, they were sailed after being launched to Portsmouth to be sheathed in copper there.[1] Bursledon's waterside position and woodland surroundings made it a natural location for building wooden ships.[1] George Parsons's Bursledon shipyard built a number of naval ships from 1778 to 1807, when he moved to Warsash at the mouth of the Hamble river; this included HMS Elephant launched in 1786, which carried Nelson to the Battle of Copenhagen.[1] The yard owned by Philemon Ewer in the 18th century was responsible for the building of the 50-gun HMS Falkland and the sloop HMS Lizard in 1744, the 50-gun HMS Ruby in 1745, the 24-gun HMS Fox in 1746, and the 60-gun HMS Anson in 1747 among other vessels.[1] There is a monument to Ewer, who died in 1750, featuring a model of the Anson in the parish church
