Any Muddy Bottom : A History of Somerset's Waterborne Trade Paperback / softback
by Geoff Body, Roy Gallop
Paperback / softback
Description
For centuries, Somerset depended on its harbours and rivers as its lifeblood.
This is the story of the county’s ports, pills and waterways – the unique vessels and the skilled men that used them, the cargoes they carried and the day-to-day practicalities of their lives.
Over 2,000 years of history is explored in this illustrated volume, from the earliest waterborne activity right up to the present day and the enduring preservation, restoration and new-build legacy.
Encompassing the whole of the Somerset coast, with detailed explorations of the ports, the vessels and their owners, skippers and crews, and the evolution of the inland distribution process, Any Muddy Bottom presents a comprehensive and vivid portrait of the county’s remarkable shipping heritage.
