This book describes in words and high quality photographs an eclectic collection of the ferries that have served the British isles from the early twentieth century to, in some cases, the present day. An amazing mixture ranging from paddle steamers to hovercraft and hydrofoils. Interestingly, the last paddle steamer was launched in 1953! The first hovercraft commenced operations about twelve years later. Even more interesting, some of the paddle steamers are still operating. None of the hovercraft are.
