With its companion volume subtitled 'Ferry Crossings and River Sailings', this book tells the story of local passenger sailings on the River and Firth of Forth. All activity relating to services starting east of the Queensferry narrows is covered in this volume, with the exception of those such as the Fife and Midlothian ferries from Newhaven to Pettycur and Burntisland, and their successor between Granton and Burntisland, which were controlled by Parliamentary Act (and are therefore featured in volume one). Detailed and informative captions accompany a wide-ranging collection of photographs showing the vessels that plied on the Forth.

Scotland's maritime heritage is a highly significant one, embracing as it does a quite outstanding contribution to Britain's development both as an empire and as the world's leading maritime power in the nineteenth century.Scottish engineering, ship-owning and operating, as well as business and entrepreneurial skills, played a major part in the success of the Merchant Navy, while Scottish emigrants took skills to every corner of the world, creating trade and wealth both abroad and at home. In terms of engineering, 'Clyde-built' was the Kitemark for the shipbuilding industry the world over. Scottish shipowners included household names such as Allan, Anchor, Donaldson and Henderson, while Scotsmen were instrumental in founding and, for much of the time, managing Cunard, British India, P & O, Orient, Glen and many other 'English' companies.The author tells an exhilarating story of energy and inventiveness, describing the remarkable navigational skills of the highlanders and the technological and business skills of the lowlanders, and relates the early development of the steamship, the impact of emigration, the involvement with exploration and the development of trade routes, and the final flowering of the world's last great iron sailing ships. And the evidence is still here, in the Cutty Sark, the Denny test tank at Dumbarton, and the Burrell Collection at Pollock, all reminders of a remarkable story.As seen in Scottish Memories Magazine.

This book presents an in-depth study of the impact of the steamship on Britain during its first forty years, roughly between 1810 and 1850. It relates the early steamship to several industrial themes including diffusion; construction; modernisation; the role of government - particularly the difficult attempt to align laissez-faire politics with the greater need for public safety measures due to technological advance; business and finance; plus public reaction and tourism. The aim is to establish the significance of the steamship as a conduit of modernisation and societal change. It consists of a foreword, introduction, and fourteen chapters devoted to specific themes, structured to ensure each chapters build on the preceding chapter’s progress. Collectively, they demonstrate that the development of both experience and enterprise with steam power both gained and refined during this period made the mid-century expansion of steamship technology across Britain possible. Ultimately, it establishes that steamship services began to adapt to oceanic routes, steam began to integrate into the world economy, and the age of sail began to draw to a close.

The 1930s were, to many, the heyday of the Scottish passenger steamer, as the crews of rival companies fought daily for passengers and prestige. This pictorial album illustrates many of the vessels involved in the trade, from the small Comet to the mighty Columba. As well as the more famous services on the Clyde and in the Western Isles, the steamers on Loch Lomond, and on the Tay and Forth, are also featured. Most photographs previously unpublished.
