Description
Leith-Built Ships tells the story of the skilled men who built these vessels and the many people who sailed or served on them. This history is part of a three-volume series that explores Leith's significant role in Scotland's maritime heritage.
The port of Leith was once Scotland's main port, with a long history of shipbuilding dating back over 660 years. The ships built here played an important part in the UK's great maritime history, reaching all corners of the globe and touching many lives. This book begins to tell their story.
