This book does not set out to be a comprehensive history of the paddle steamer. Rather it offers a series of snapshots of the fascinating story and enduring charm of paddlers over the last two hundred years, illustrated by nostalgic historic images and the author's own photography.
It also offers a look at those few precious survivors of the age of the excursion steamer, the ferry and and the paddle tug, and the efforts of those whose passion is to keep them alive and steaming.
