Shipshape and Bristol fashion / John C.G. Hill.

This book deals with the Bristol shipping firm Charles Hill and Sons, which grew out of the Hotwells shipbuilding business of James Hillhouse. There is a background history of the City of Bristol from the 18th century onwards. The establishment of the Bristol City Line by Charles Hill in 1879 is also covered. There are numerous illustrations, mainly in black and white. The appendices contain lists of ships from 1793 to 1976.
