From Baird Maritime:

Many elements of the fabled British maritime industry have faded completely away. It is delightful to see that one of them, the venerable publishing house of Brown, Son & Ferguson, continues to flourish in Glasgow.

From Baird Maritime:

A very attractive, beguiling but eccentric book, it’s a classic “coffee table” work that is still a very interesting and informative read. Most unusual.

From Baird Maritime:

Although the United Kingdom’s fishing industry is now a shadow of its former self, it is encouraging to learn that some off its culture and traditions are alive and flourishing.

From Baird Maritime:

As with all anthologies, particularly those focussed on the sea, it is possible to endlessly debate the value of their contents.

This one contains an eclectic mix in terms of period, geography and style. Your reviewer is familiar with most of the items. He enjoyed almost all of those that were new to him.
