Wooden Fishing Boats of Scotland

Více o knize

Focusing on the elegant wooden fishing boats of Scotland from 1960 to 1980, this illustrated volume captures the artistry and craftsmanship of their builders and designers. Initially shaped by collaboration between builders and skippers, the designs later shifted towards standardization due to regulatory changes. The book features stunning photographs of these vessels at sea, alongside images of repairs and the poignant sight of boats being dismantled. It highlights the impact of political factors on the fate of these classic crafts, which were once only retired due to age.
