Craft of the Inland Waterways

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

The Humber keel was a familiar sight on the estuary in the late 19th century and its design included features that had been in use for centuries. Taking these vessels as his starting point, John Wade presents an illustrated history of the many craft used on Britain’s rivers and canals, discussing developments such as steam power, motor boats and the shift from transporting goods to pleasure boating.
