Description

This volume highlights the importance of the Bay Ports of both Cardiff and Penarth docks during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Volume One illustrated Bay Maidens and vessels that visited the ports and which can still be seen and visited.

Now, in this second volume, Alan Thorne provides details of vessels and voyages of mixed fortunes, and lists further Bay Maidens, including many built in the Bay Ports, some of which are still sailing and that includes one launched as long ago as 1879. "The Sail of Cardiff Bay: Volume Two" describes 120 commercial vessels and provides details of the shipbuilders and shipyards, plus dimensions, rigs and tonnages.

The book also contains an Afterword on Andrew Andersen, the Master Boat Builder from Penarth.
