by Nigel Coombes This lavishly illustrated account of the passenger steamer services of P & A Campbell's White Funnel steamers is the result of a lifetime of cruising the Bristol Channel. It is based on practical experience coupled with copious research into the Bristol Channel and its maritime history. From the earliest days to the halcyon inter-war years, the paddlers, people and places of the White Funnel fleet are brought to life with evocative photographs and knowledgeable text. For the first time the company's South Coast services are recounted together with pictorial accounts of their French excursions and the Fleet review of 1953. Many readers will delight in "the days we remember best" - a chapter covering Bristol Channel services between 1947 and 1960, recalling the era of the Bristol Queen and the Cardiff Queen. ISBN 0 906294 34 7. 120 pages, 200 illustrations. Hard back. £16.00 |
