Steamers of the Forth

Together with a companion volume subtitled 'Ferry Crossings and River Sailings this book tells the story of local passenger sailings on the River and Firth of Forth. All activity relating to services starting east of the Queensferry narrows is covered in this volume, with the exception of the Fife and Midlothian ferries from Newhaven to Pettycur and Burntisland, and their successor between Granton and Burntisland, which were controlled by Parliamentary Act and feature in volume one. Detailed captions accompany a wide-ranging selection of photographs illustrating vessels that plied on the Forth. Ian Brodie's captions are informative and accessible, making them of interest to general readers and not just steamer enthusiasts.
