South Devon Steamers and Ferries

Devon and Cornwall attract more holidaymakers than anywhere else in the UK. Most come to enjoy the rugged coastline and spectacular beaches. Early in the 20th century, passenger pleasure steamers and ferries served the holiday trade and, indeed, today some ferries still run in South Devon. Alan Kittridge’s book tells the story of the many and varied pleasure steamers and ferries in regular service throughout South Devon from the dawn of photography to the present day. Illustrated with over 200 images of the steamers.
