  Linked to a Channel 4 documentary by the producers of Classic Trucks , this book explores maritime history and architecture, and vessels from warships to dinghies, fishing boats, working boats and merchant ships, as well as pleasure boats. It also considers the huge social changes that have taken place in Britain's shipping history, and includes interviews with people who are directly associated with ships and the sea: sailmakers, boatbuilders, dockers, and the crews of working and fishing boats.
