VINTAGESTAN BOOKS Title: Mersey Rovers by R. S. Fenton Summary: The focus is on the coastal tramp (i.e., non-scheduled, non-liner) shipping owners in the Liverpool / Mersey region covering the port of Liverpool and the various lesser Mersey ports (e.g., Garston, Ellesmere Port, Widnes, Runcorn, etc.). The book traces the rise of the steam coaster trade, the transition to motor vessels, and how the tramp (irregular cargo) market was served from the Mersey. For each company (around 33 are mentioned) it provides a detailed history, and for each a fleet list of the vessels owned (some 300 steam & motor vessels) plus many photographs (some 400 images) and an 8-page colour section of flags & funnels.
