Boatlines : Scottish craft of sea, coast and canal /Ian Stephen.

"As befits a country surrounded by the sea, numerous types of boat have piled Scotland's waters over the centuries, from the galleys that served the medieval Lords of the Isles to the great fishing fleets of Fifties and Zulus, and the pleasure steamers that have carried tourists through some of the most beautfiul scenery in the land. As well as giving descriptions of many craft - their design, construction and other features which define them - Boatlines is also rich in stories, anecdotes and lore about the vessels themselves, those who built them and have sailed them, and the communities they have served. The result is a unique celebration of the maritime life of Scotland."--
