From Baird Maritime:

The ferry industry, particularly in northern Europe and the British Isles, has done it tough for the decade prior to the publication of these excellent yearbook/directories.

By Hugo Montgomery-Swan

From Baird Maritime:

Adlard Coles book “Heavy Weather Sailing” has gone through many editions to become the unchallenged “Bible” of rough water sailing.

It is not surprising, therefore, that the same publisher has produced a matching volume offering the same kinds of advice to powerboat operators. As with so many Adlard Coles offerings, this is equally appropriate to both commercial and leisure operators.

By Howard J. Fuller

From Baird Maritime:

The role of Britain in America’s Civil War is not widely known. The British, generally, had considerable sympathy for and valuable trade connections with the Confederate States.

While professing neutrality, there is no doubt that British support was of considerable value to the Confederacy. In this book the author shows that the Union Navy quite rightly regarded British Sea Power as a greater threat than the Confederate Navy.

By Basil Lubbock

From Baird Maritime:

Another Lubbock classic of nineteenth century maritime history. This is one of fifteen Lubbock books being offered at a very generous price.

As with all the Lubbock books, it covers a lot of ground. The Blackwall Frigates were the connecting link between the East Indiamen of the eighteenth century and the P&O liners of the twentieth. They were high quality, well run ships.
