Shipbuilding by James L Wood
Scotland led the world in this romantic industry. Over a period of 200 years there were more than 250 shipbuilders on the Clyde alone, between them building over 30,000 different types of vessel: passenger ships, cargo liners, cross-channel ferries, tramp steamers, sailing ships, tugs, dredgers, and warships of all kinds from battleships to submarines. This book charts the big story of shipbuilding in Scotland, covering both the social and engineering aspects, and highlighting the transition from wood and sail to iron and steam.
"A fine book that should have a very wide appeal to seafarers.." -- Nautical Magazine, March 2002.
