Description:   “The extensive system of navigable rivers within the Port of Plymouth and the nearby sheltered estuaries and bays of Devon’s South Hams and east Cornwall are home to a varied local maritime history…  Happily, between the 1860s and the 1960s, photographers were on hand to capture the results of decades, sometimes centuries, of [its] isolated nautical evolution before it vanished completely.”

The author has chosen some of the best photographs from his own collection, and they are extensively and knowledgeably captioned. Chapters include the South Hams, Plymouth, Stonehouse, Devonport, River Tamar and its tributaries, and South-east Cornwall. A quality publication.
