Here are around 250 B&W photos of all MacBrayne’s ships over the years, many from the unique Captain Alex Rodger collection of glass slides. Plus there are 84 colour illustrations of more recent ships as well as advertising material. Special attention is given to four steamers, the classic paddle steamers Columba and Iona, and the equally classic turbine steamers, the Saint Columba and the much loved King George V. And there are good potted biographies of the Company’s founding fathers. Excellent introduction to a legendary shipping firm! 127 pages. paperback. Amberley Publishing
