Hayes' boatyard, Stony Stratford : boats built far from the water's edge /Alison Leighton. "As the title suggests the boatyard's location was unlikely, being a mile from the nearest water if you don't count the kitchen tap. The yard was also known as Watling's on account of it being on Watling Street in Stony Stratford, Buckinghamshire. It dated from 1862 when a nearby concern moved to Crewe leaving skilled manpower behind and creating the commercial opportunity. Hayes' yard built boats for over 50 years, exported all over the world, and at its height had 90 employees. Although the photographs in the book are of mixed quality they are all extremely interesting and accompanied by informative captions."--Provided by the publisher. 2018. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 629.128.1(425.75)

Ships of the Chester River / Richard Martin. "Ships of the Chester River is the history of more than 600 vessels that were launched after 1800 in the Dee estuary, in Chester and north Wales, and the families and companies that built them. Although the industry on the Dee was not on the scale of that on the neighbouring Mersey estuary, ship building was a significant business in both Chester and the Dee ports throughout the nineteenth century. This is the first book to be published on this subject, and reveals the great variety of Chester River vessels which sailed all over the world, serving in many different and interesting roles."--Provided by the publisher. 2018. • BOOK • 1 copy available. txt
