Pleasure Steamers by Andrew Gladwell
The commercial paddle steamer was the Comet of 1812. Soon competitive steamer services developed, resulting in bigger and magnificent vessels, and before long no seaside resort was complete without a pleasure steamer moored alongside the pier. This book outlines the efforts to preserve what remains of pleasure steamer heritage in Britain.
