Step aboard the historic pleasure fleets of the River Clyde with the rare and highly sought-after vintage publication The Clyde Steamers by Desmond Banks. Published in the immediate post-war era, this classic maritime handbook serves as an invaluable, nostalgic chronicle celebrating the famous passenger steamboats, turbine vessels, and paddle steamers that defined Scottish maritime culture.

The iconic front wrapper features a beautiful monochrome archival photograph of the historic TS Duchess of Hamilton slicing through the waters of the Firth of Clyde. Inside, this authentic softcover booklet is packed with comprehensive fleet lists, architectural dimensions, engine specs, operational records, and fascinating histories of the vessels that served holidaymakers “doon the watter.” An absolute must-have piece of nautical memorabilia, this original handbook is an essential addition for British shipping historians, vintage transport enthusiasts, and dedicated collectors of classic Scottish maritime literature.
