About This Item
Preface: "This book constitutes the fifth of our series on British coastal, cross-channel, and pleasure vessels, In it, as elsewhere, the word "steamer" is used to include motor vessels. When our earlier books on the Scottish fleets were produced during 1935-39, there was no concerted plan for the compilation of others; but, with the passage of time, it occurred to us that our net might be spread wider to embrace the whole of the British Isles in the same categories of shipping. In the present publication we have confined our attention to some of the principal companies, not only because the cost of production makes larger books out of the question, but also because the public's interest in the smaller concerns is more limited." There are 32 glossy pages of b/w photos of the various ships.
A note from the publisher: "As 'West Coast Steamers' went to press, the sad news was received of the sudden death of Mr. Duckworth, only a few days after he had completed revising the final proofs."
