Hi, fellow ship enthusiasts! I have some exciting news to share with you all. My latest book, "Leith Built Ships Vol-4," is now available for pre-order directly from the publishers! I couldn't be more thrilled to bring you another volume in this series that explores the rich history of shipbuilding in Leith.
In this fourth instalment, I delve into the fascinating
world of the shipyard known as Robb Caledon, specifically focusing on the Leith
Division. This shipyard holds a special place in the maritime history and
heritage of Leith, and I've worked hard uncovering its stories about the ships
and the men who built them, not forgetting the thousands who sailed or served
on a Leith Built Ship.
Throughout the pages of this book, you'll embark on a
journey through time, exploring the rise and fall of Robb Caledon in Leith.
From its resulting merger or takeover depends on your point of view to the
closure in 1984, I've meticulously researched and documented the triumphs,
challenges, and innovations that shaped this iconic shipbuilding town.
The magnificent ocean-going salvage tug Wolraad Woltemade in
dry dock in Singapore.
One of the things I'm most excited about is the inclusion of
captivating photographs and illustrations that bring the ships and the shipyard
to life. These visuals not only enhance the storytelling experience but also
allow you to truly appreciate the intricacies and craftsmanship involved in
constructing these remarkable vessels.
