Forthright & steadfast / Gloria Wilson ; foreword by Paul Gartside. "Having recorded in pen and ink the Fishing Boats of Scotland which she loves, Gloria Wilson here focusses her attention on the Peterhead yard of Richard Irvin & Sons, and the wooden, cruiser sterned fishing boats for which it became renowned in the second half of the twentieth century.

Port Line : incorporating James P Corry & Co, Thomas B Royden & Co, Wm. Milburn & Co, G D Tyser & Co, The Commonwealth and Dominion Line Ltd In 1914, James P Corry & Co, Thomas B Royden & Co, William Milburn & Co and G D Tyser & Co, which were all engaged in trade with New Zealand and Australia, combined to form the Commonwealth & Dominion Line. Acquired by Cunard in 1916, the Line was renamed as the Port Line in 1937. In 1967, facing competition from containerisation and air travel, the Blue Star and Port Line fleets were combined under the management of Blue Star Port Lines (Management). The arrangement was terminated in 1973, marking the end of Port Line as an operational shipping company. Histories and fleet lists are provided for the Commonwealth & Dominion and Port Lines and each of the predecessor companies. Appendices cover the operations of the Montreal Australia New Zealand (MANZ) Line, the loss of HMS Port Napier, ship machinery and refrigeration, alterations and losses incurred as a result of the Second World War. Illustated throughout with photographs of vessels and corporate documentation. 2004 • FOLIO • 2 copies available. 347.792COMMONWEALYH & DOMINION

Cunard Line : a fleet history /Peter Newall. "Cunard Line is the most famous shipping company in the world and this is the first comprehensive history of Cunard and its ships. The focus is not just on the transatlantic passenger liners, although they get their fair share of exposure. Covered in similar depth are the intermediate passenger ships, Mediterranean traders, the surprisingly large fleet of pure cargo ships, Cunards contribution to the Atlantic Container Line, reefers, cruise ships, the bulkers of Cunard-Brocklebank, the Moss tankers plus tugs and tenders. There is also an impressive fleet of wartime managed ships, including some famous foreign liners. Coasters and other ships chartered for Channel Islands and Great Lakes services are also mentioned. The individual histories of 310 ships from Unicorn in 1840 to the current Queen Elizabeth are featured, reflecting the latest standards of research with details from registration papers and other sources. There are over 700 illustrations, many of which have never been published before, including many in colour. Great care has been taken with the layout of the book so that it is easy to follow, individual chapters telling the story of the ships employed in each aspect of the companies operations. The front cover has a specially-commissioned painting of the original Queen Elizabeth by the renowned marine artist Stephen Card. None of the many other books on Cunard presents such a comprehensive picture of its activities, and we believe this book will come to be regarded as the definitive fleet history of this famous company and its many ships."--From publisher. 2012 • FOLIO • 2 copies available. 347.792CUNARD
Pirates and privateers in the 18th century : the final flourish /Mike Rendell. "Pirates and Privateers tells the fascinating story of the buccaneers who were the scourge of merchants in the 18th Century. It examines their lifestyle, looking at how the sinking of the Spanish treasure fleet in a storm off the coast of Florida led to a pirate's gold rush; how the King's Pardon was a desperate gamble - which paid off - and considers the role of individual island governors, such as Woodes Rogers in the Bahamas, in bringing piracy under control. The book also looks at how piracy has been a popular topic in print, plays, songs and now films, making thieves and murderers into swash-buckling heroes. It also considers the whole question of buried treasure - and gives a lively account of many of the pirates who dominated the so-called 'Golden Age' of Piracy."--Provided by the publisher. 2018. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 341.362.1"17"

What is the best time to go? What provisions are needed? When and where does fog occur? And icebergs? What are the limits of the Gulf Stream? Is the boat sound? Is she properly crewed and equipped?

All these questions and many more are answered."--Provided by the publisher. 1988 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 527.83(261)
To sail no more : colour edition - part one /Ian Buxton "This brand new volume follows on from our hugely successful series of books featuring warships being broken up at the end of their lives. This is the first of two special volumes featuring the photographs of Tom Ferrers-Walker, who travelled around the UK's shipbreaking yards recording the final moments of many former RN warships. This much enlarged volume covers the period 1949-62 and features battleships from Royal Sovereign through the King George V class to Vanguard. Cruisers, aircraft carriers, submarines and escorts are all recorded, in full colour in this hardback volume."--Provided by the publisher 2017. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 623.82.004.72(42)
