This is a complete history of the ships built at Leith from c. 1850 until the end of World War I and features the shipyards that eventually became the Henry Robb Shipyard including S&H; Morton, Ramage & Ferguson, Cran & Somerville and Hawthorns & Co
The second in a series of four books about the almost forgotten part played by Leith in our truly great maritime heritage.
Continues the highly-praised story of shipbuilding in Leith and contains a memorable collection of photographs. It features the post-War golden era of shipbuilding and the ensuing industry changes.
A fine tribute to the unsung heroes and vessels during war and peace which is complemented with many evocative photographs.
