Ferry Beach

Bag om Ferry Beach

Ferry Beach is a captivating recollection of the men and boats that have sailed the waters around Barrow-in-Furness for generations. Through personal anecdotes and historical research, author Stan Henderson paints a vivid portrait of the boatmen who braved the waves, wind, and tides to make their living on the sea. Ferry Beach explores the many types of craft that have graced the waters off Barrow and is a tribute to the people who crewed them - the hardworking, skilled, and often colourful characters who kept the maritime traditions of the region alive. Through interviews with local families and archival research, Ferry Beach brings to life the stories of these men and their boats. It offers a glimpse into a world that has largely disappeared. It is a must-read for anyone with an interest in maritime history, regional culture, or the human experience on the sea.
