German battleships, 1914-18. Gary Staff.
"This volume covers the history of the Deutschland to Osfriesland classes of German battlecruisers, beginning with the last of the pre-dreadnought battleships and explaining the revolutionary developments, particularly the vast increases in size and armament, that took place within the German Imperial Navy as it readied itself for war. Gary Staff describes the design and technology of these classes, focusing on the development and combat experiences of individual ships. Supported by official documents, first-hand accounts and drawings, this book also contains specially commissioned artwork depicting the battleship Pommern fighting at Jutland and ships of the Osfriesland class destroying HMS Black Prince in a dramatic night-time engagement."--from Amazon.

Medway tales : life on the dividing river /Wilf Lower.
The River Medway has long sustained those who have lived along its banks. Collated by maritime journalist Wilf Lower, Medway Tales: Life on the Dividing River comprises a lively collection of feature articles detailing the people of the Medway and the fascinating stories that they have to tell. Some are newcomers, bringing innovative ideas and crafts, whilst others have spent their lives on the river and have a unique and valuable knowledge of it. Together they create a fascinating social landscape, combining images of a disappearing past with future hopes and aspirations that often includes preservation of traditions. Featuring many previously unpublished photographs, the evolution of life on the river is traced from the older traditional industries through to the newer water leisure activities and the development of tourism.

Cockleshell heroes : the final witness /Quentin Rees.
"This is not just an authoritative story about thirteen 'black-faced villains' embarked on a secret mission via T-class submarine. It is a powerful depiction and an astounding tale of courage and bravery by men and women of both Britain and France - one which is graphic in its telling. This is the complete 'no holds barred' record and is a deeply researched, highly detailed, intricately woven account of a Combined Operations Clandestine Raid, with men who volunteered for Hazardous Service, who sought challenges rather than avoid them. They paddled 105 land miles in canoes to place Limpet mines on Axis blockade runners deep inside enemy-held territory."--Provided by the publisher.

British cruisers of the Victorian Era / Norman Friedman.
Evolving from sailing frigates, the first modern cruiser is not easy to define, but this book starts with the earliest steam paddle warships, covers the evolution of screw-driven frigates, corvettes and sloops, and then the succeeding iron, composite and steel-hulled cruising ships. The story ends with the last armoured cruisers and Third Class Cruisers, all conceived before 1906.

The QM2 story / Chris Frame & Rachelle Cross.
"QM2 was introduced in 2003 to the great fanfare, as the largest, longest, grandes and most expensive ocean liner ever built. She replaced the beloved QE2 on the transatlantic run and has become a firm favourite around the world, her popularity soaring with each new port she visits. Her interiors and fourteen spacious decks put QM2 head and shoulders above the rest and hark back to the golden age of ocean liners. Cunard experts Chris Frame and Rachelle Cross present the full story behind this great liner, from her concept as the next generation of ocean liner to her world-breaking achievements. With full colour photographs and fascinating facts, this is a must-have for all those who love ocean travel."--

Looking back at Bristol Channel shipping / Andrew Wiltshire.
"Beginning at Ilfracombe, the photographs in this book take us eastwards along the Bristol Channel as far as Sharpness and Gloucester before heading westwards along the Welsh coast as far as Swansea. All 105 photographs are in colour and they offer a feast of nostalgia to anyone interested in the maritime and industrial history of the area. They provide vivid memories of the glory years before the widespread development of containerisation. The inclusion of the ports of Watchet, Portishead and Gloucester reminds us that these used to be busy commercial harbours. Each photograph is accompanied by a fully detailed caption giving information about the ship and the setting."--Provided by the publisher.

RMS Queen Mary / Suzanne Tarbell Cooper ... [et al.].
"Launched in an era when speed and grandeur went together, the RMS Queen Mary is the last survivor of the golden age of ocean liners. From the time of her maiden voyage in 1936, passengers crossed the North Atlantic cocooned in luxury. The ship now serves as a floating hotel and tourist attraction, a living testament to her glamorous history, a generous showcase of art, and a magnificent example of a time when oceans could be crossed in both comfort and beauty."--Provided by the publisher.
