VINTAGESTAN BOOKS Title: Steam Coasters and Short Sea Traders by C.V. Waine and R.S. Fenton Summary: Steam Coasters and Short Sea Traders is a detailed maritime history and reference work about the small cargo steamships that operated around the coasts of Britain and nearby European waters during the late 19th and 20th centuries. The book examines the development, design, operation, and economic importance of steam coasters, the “workhorses” of coastal trade. The authors, Charles V. Waine and R. S. Fenton, focus on how these vessels carried coal, grain, timber, oil, and general cargo between British ports and across the North Sea and Irish Sea. The book explains how coasters evolved from small Victorian steamers into more efficient interwar and postwar cargo ships, reflecting advances in marine engineering, shipbuilding, and cargo handling. Key themes include: • The transition from sail to steam in coastal shipping. • Regional shipbuilding traditions in Britain. • The economic role of short-sea trade in industrial Britain. • Specialized vessel types such as colliers, tankers, and the famous Clyde “puffers.” • The daily working life of crews and operators. • The gradual decline of steam coasters due to motor ships, containerization, and changing freight systems. The book is especially valued for its extensive illustrations, technical drawings, ship plans, and colour profiles by Waine. Reviewers and booksellers often describe it as both a historical study and a visual reference work for maritime enthusiasts and ship historians. Authors: C.V. Waine and R.S.
