Starting in Swansea and travelling clockwise round the Britol Channel to Ilfracombe, this is a nostalgic look, in colour photographs, at shipping in the Bristol Channel in the 1960s and 1970s, the final years before the growth of containerisation.  Numerous examples of classic vessels are shown, and a fair number of companies which have now disappeared. A wide range of ships are illustrated, from the very large, down to the pretty small. 97 photographs in all, many full page. 80 well produced landscape format pages. Hardbound. Coastal Shipping
