D-Day now 82 years on

 

Lets not forget that many young people would see the French coast on the morning of June 6th 1944,

many would never return. They gave their own futures so that we would have ours, lets not waste the days they gave to us.

New book published today

Very pleased to be able to say that the latest book in the series of ships built at Leith has now been published.

Magnificent Steam Yachts of Leith, 1870–1928 (Volume 5) sails straight into the golden era of luxury at sea. Leith’s shipyards produced some of the finest steam yachts ever built—elegant, extravagant, and far ahead of their time. This book uncovers their remarkable stories through rare archival material and storytelling, a look back at a world long vanished.
