Coastal Ships and Ferries 2nd Edition

Written by maritime expert David Hornsby, this brilliant new reference book examines coastal ships, ferries, and every other type of vessel likely to be encountered in home and European waters. First published in 1999 as a companion to the author's highly successful Ocean Ships title, it provided a comprehensive listing of all ferries and coastal ships traveling around the British Isles and northern Europe. This fully updated new volume follows in a similar style, providing an unmatched level of coverage and depth of detail. Now illustrated predominantly in color, this edition will also include a brief history of each of the shipping lines featured. From funnel and hull colors, to full listings of ship names, owners, and dates of construction, this is the ultimate treasure trove of information for all serious maritime enthusiasts. Highly recommended for keen ship spotters.
