This preowned hardback book with dust jacket and 288 pages was written by Fred Schofield and published by Terence Dalton in 1988..
In the hands of an experienced keelman such as Captain Fred Schofield the keel was able to sail to windward on the Humber, where it held its own with craft of much more modern design. On canals it was towed by steam tug or, more often, by horse to inland coal staithes and into the heart of industrial Yorkshire, carying raw materials to their factories in one direction and their products in the other. Captain Schofield writes with infectious enthusiasm from a lifetime's experience.
