Coastal Shipping International

2019
by Bernard McCall

During 2000 to 2009, Coastal Shipping Publications released a yearly coaster annual. Due to the popularity of these annuals and the many requests to resume them, Bernard McCall has duly replied with this excellent photographic A4 sized hard-back. It looks at some of the aspects of coastal shipping world-wide. From Canada to Cornwall and from New Zealand to Norway, many of the articles have historical interest whilst others focus on geography. It’s a very unique book in this regard and the only I can recall that focuses on such a wide range of subjects. Cement carriers are here as well as bunkering tankers and modern coasters. As we have come to expect from Coastal Publications, the 100+ photographs are excellent and really bring this wellwritten book to life. 72 pages. Highly recommended.
