The lack of a pier was no obstacle to the Clyde Puffer Her crew would beach her, unload in the shallows and watch the customers wade in and pick up the cargo. Dan McDonald was one of few landsmen to sail with the puffermen, and here his knowledge is illustrated with a collection of photographs.

In 1975 the last surviving Clyde Puffer--a small, steam-powered cargo ship--was found derelict in Whitby Harbor. It was lovingly restored and now plies up and down the west coast of Scotland throughout the summer every year, carrying thousands of passengers on an idyllic cruise through some of the finest scenery on earth. Part of the experience that has drawn Puffer enthusiasts back again and again are the delicious meals prepared for them in the tiny galley, which has no electricity but limitless supplies of boiling water, as befits a steam vessel. Authors Mandy Hamilton and David Hawson have combined the wonderfully varied recipes that have been cooked on board over the years with stunning photography of unforgettable land and seascapes and exuberant paintings of food, fish, flowers, fauna, and the wonderful Puffer itself. The result is a unique cookbook that captures the magic of the Clyde and the Hebrides and will make the perfect keepsake for lovers of the region, anyone who enjoys Scottish cooking, and the Puffer's innumerable fans.

A review of the role of the puffer in Scottish maritime history, especially that of the West Coast. The study describes the evolution of the puffer from its early roots as a timber built, horse-drawn barge into the vessel which inspired Neil Munro's Para Handy tales. Through details from the records of the early companies that eventually joined forces to become Glenlight Shipping, the book tells how the puffers served the communities of Scotland's western seaboard, bringing them essential supplies, shipped mostly from the Clyde. It also tells how this trade suffered and declined as a result of declining populations, improved road transport and the advent of Ro-Ro ferries.

There is barely a corner of the five great oceans where Clyde-built is not recognised as the ultimate shipbuilding accolade. As late as the 1950s, around a seventh of the total of the world’s sea going tonnage was built on the Clyde. It is not a particularly wide river, nor spectacularly long – it is certainly no Mississippi or Amazon – but its fame is legendary. From the many yards on its banks, north and south, en route from the gentle hills of Lanarkshire to the Firth of Clyde, came engineering innovation and fabled names in shipping – iconic vessels like the Cutty Sark and the Delta Queen, fearsome warships like the mighty Hood, and the cream of the world’s great liners, the Cunard Queens and the beautiful white Empress vessels. All that and cargo carrying workhorses that opened up the world. More recent times have seen the phoenix-like revival of Ferguson Shipbuilders, the last remaining yard on the Lower Clyde, saved from closure by industrialist Jim McColl and now investing in the hybrid technology of the future that has thrown a lifeline to this once great yard. This is the fascinating, often turbulent, story of a great river, its great ships and the folk who built them.

For many years the River Clyde held a premier place in the world of shipbuilding and engineering, pioneering many advances in both disciplines. While these days are long gone we should never forget the great contribution made by a range of companies, from those constructing luxury passenger liners and major warships, to those building a whole range of cargo ships, including numerous specialist types, and the smaller concerns concentrating on coasters, tugs, dredgers and puffers. This illustrated history reveals the whole gamut of Clyde-built types built on the river and celebrates the glory days of times past, now sadly only living on in old photographs and the memories of those who were there.

John Masefields dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack, butting through the Channel in the mad March days has become a ship type of universal appeal, both for its simple, functional beauty and its faithful toil before the advent of universal road haulage. In this new book a collection of more than 300 photographs has been drawn together to tell the story of the development of the steam and diesel coasters, which originated mainly in the UK and the Netherlands. The term coaster embraces a huge range of types including the steam colliers, the puffers, packets, steam flats and lighters mainly designed for inland seas, then the ubiquitous steam coaster itself, built in large numbers for use around British shores but also further afield in every corner of the world. Coastal tankers and other specialist types like chemical and cement carriers also evolved. As well as the details of the ships themselves, the book covers cargo handling and stowing, machinery, the coastal trades, the owners and builders and, not least, the crews and their jobs and their lives at sea. A hugely evocative and illuminating book to delight and inform ship enthusiasts everywhere.

The book is the first to detail the 170-year evolution of the powered bulk carriers which continue to have a major role in the world’s trades and economies. Their design and technological development is traced from the screw colliers of the 1850s which revolutionised the British coastal coal trade. The same engineering principles were applied to produce ocean-going steam and later motor tramps. By the end of the 19th century, the capabilities and economies of these ‘black freighters’ had captured from the sailing ship much of the world’s trade in bulk commodities. In the second half of the 20th century, the tramps in turn evolved into multi-purpose, dry bulk carriers. These workhorses of the sea transport commodities including metallic ores, grain, coal, timber and other minerals. Quantities of up to 400,000 tons are carried in the largest, specialised ore carriers. In a parallel development, applying the same technical principles produced smaller yet efficient steam and later motor coasters which came to dominate short sea shipping. The book concludes with a discussion of how the economies of transportation provided by bulk carriers have had profound effects on industrialisation, globalisation and the world’s economy, and discusses the environmental impact of these ships.
