Established in 1977, this highly successful 'Merchant Fleets' series extends to over 50 books on major shipping companies owning all types of shipping. Some of the titles have been commissioned by the shipping companies themselves, and all are researched and written to a very high standard by two highly respected authors of company histories, Duncan Haws and Norman L. Middlemiss. A comprehensive text is followed by a company verified fleet list and illustrated by up to 200 scale drawings and/or black and white or colour photographs. Please note we do not publish, recommend or stock 'picture' books consisting solely of photographs and captions with little or no supporting text.
