Tom Chaplin has been cruising the inland waterway network since the 1950s, and much of the material for this book was obtained while crewing for working boatmen and observing their techniques, craft and lifestyle. The first of his four books on narrow boats was published in 1967. A civil engineer, he ran a Riparian Owner service for many years and concluded his career as a water freight consultant, championing inland waterway transport.
