Description

This book charts the history of the Clyde Steamers of the NBR and its successors the LNER. Craigendoran is synonymous with these steamers which operated from 1866 and in 1882 Craigendoran became the fleet headquarters. The red funnels, with broad white band and black top, in combination with a forceful paddle beat, exemplified to perfection the bold and colourful character of the ships and the enterprise of management, a tradition still being upheld by Waverley, the last of the Craigendoran steamers.. 80pages, illustrated, softback book.
