Scottish Steamers in the 1930s

The 1930s were, to many, the heyday of the Scottish passenger steamer, as the crews of rival companies fought daily for passengers and prestige. This pictorial album illustrates many of the vessels involved in the trade, from the small Comet to the mighty Columba. As well as the more famous services on the Clyde and in the Western Isles, the steamers on Loch Lomond, and on the Tay and Forth, are also featured. Most photographs previously unpublished.
