Henry Adams (1713–1805) was a British Master Shipbuilder. He lived and worked at Bucklers Hard between 1744 and 1805. His home is now known as The Master Builder's House Hotel, a 3-star hotel overlooking the Beaulieu River and the old slipways of Buckler's Hard. He was responsible for building many famous warships during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

Buckler's Hard is a hamlet on the banks of the Beaulieu River in the English county of Hampshire. With its Georgian cottages running down to the river, Buckler's Hard is part of the 9,000-acre (3,600-hectare) Beaulieu Estate. The hamlet is some 2.5 miles (4.0 km) south of the village of Beaulieu.
