About the AuthorDeayton's other works include MacBrayne Steamers and Steamers of the Clyde.
From 1840 to the 1960's, steam ruled the waves, yet over the course of the past 50 years, such ships have given way to diesel or oil-fired vessels and each year, more and more retired barges make their way to the breaker's yard. His catalogue ranges from the Cunard liner Queen Mary to Parson's Turbinia, with a huge variety of vessels in between.. With an exceptional collection of black-and-white and color photographs, Alistair Deayton sets out to document every steamship still in existence
