Steamers of the Forth:Volume 1: Ferry Crossings and River Sailings

Together with a companion volume subtitled 'Firth Services and Excursions', this book tells the story of local passenger sailings on the River and Firth of Forth. The ferry crossings controlled by Parliamentary Acts are covered in this volume, as are the river sailings and crossings commencing at Queensferry or operating upriver from there. Comprising photographs and other illustrations accompanied by detailed captions, the book is divided into several sections: Pioneer Steam Services, The Railway Ferries, The Stirling Steamer Service, The Ferries, 1890-1919, River Excursions, The Inter-war Years, and The Post-war Years. Ian Brodie's informative captions will be of interest to both aficionados and general readers.
