Items related to Paddlesteamers (Glory Days)
A nostalgic picture album of the golden age of British coastal passenger shipping; Will appeal to all those with an interest in martime heritage; There are few sights more redolent of the golden age of shipping than that of the preserved paddlesteamer Waverley as it makes its stately way around the coast of the British Isles during the summer tourist season. Although Waverley itself was a relatively late addition to the maritime scene, being built after World War 2, the ship is an evocative reminder of the numerous paddlesteamers that once plied their trade in Britain's coastal waters and further afield. For many, a trip across the Solent or on one of the Clyde Coast services would not have been complete without either a trip on or a sight of one of these classic vessels. Moreover, it is only comparatively recently that the last paddlesteamers in regular service - those used on the ferry across the Humber at Hull - were finally retired. In his latest addition to the successful 'Glory Days' series, well-known maritime writer and historian David Williams records the history of the paddlesteamer around Britain over the past century. Drawing upon a fascinating selection of both colour and mono illustrations, he portrays the many paddlesteamers that were once visible around Britain. Some of these vessels - like the Waverley and the ex-Humber ferries - are wellknown even today; others are now but a memory. As an exercise in pure nostalgia, Glory Days: Paddlesteamers will appeal to all those who recall the golden age of British coastal passenger shipping. As a fascinating portrait of a long lost maritime era, it will appeal equally to all those interested in Britain's maritime history and heritage.
