Essex and Suffolk Boatyards and Boat Builders - Paperback

by Mike Davies (Author)

In running Marine Traders Yacht Brokers from 1973 to 2000, Mike Davies visited and got to know boatyards and boat builders all over the East Coast. This book is a fascinating record of all the yards and the people he met during his 27 years in the yachting industry. Much of it is now history with many yards closed or having moved premises.

The book contains more than 400 images, photos, diagrams and letterheads collected by the author over a period from 1944 to 2007, along with hundreds of memories and stories about the people, the boats and the places that make up the beautiful east coast of Essex and Suffolk.
