This Monday, 29th June, I’m launching Leith Built
Ships, Volume 5: Steam Yachts (1875–1928) at the Port of Leith Distillery —
a perfect setting, built on the very ground where Henry Robb’s shipwrights once
shaped some of Scotland’s finest vessels. Join me for a short talk on Leith’s
steam yacht legacy, a few stories from the yards, and a celebration of the
craftsmanship that helped shape the Royal Yacht Britannia just down the
road.
