WHITE FUNNELS: THE STORY OF CAMPBELL'S STEAMERS 1946-68

by Chris Collard

Published by Baron Birch. 1st. 1996

Slightly better than very good condition. White Funnels - a world of maritime magic is evoked by these two simple words. Yet, for two decades or so, they were the magnets which drew yound and old, tripper and traveller, to brave the elements, and venture forth aboard that all but vanished pehomenon, the paddle steamer. A evocation of a vanished era, a fight against change, of elemental drama and often accidental humour. Blue glazed pictorial boards. B/w photos. 176 pages.

Copy number 139 of a limited edition. A nice, clean copy - minor 'dint' to rear board.
