A Mersey ferry was recorded in the Domesday Book, and for around a
thousand years, they have plied between Birkenhead and Wallasey on
the Wirral and Liverpool. The sail and man-powered craft gave way
to steam ferries in 1815. In this book, Ian Collard tells the story
of the Mersey ferries, concentrating on the steam and diesel
powered eras from 1815 to the present day and including such famous
ferries as Iris and Daffodil, which were involved in the Zeebrugge
Raid of 1918. The Mersey ferries have been immortalized in song,
and even today, with the various tunnels under the Mersey, the
three survivors of today, Snowdrop, Royal Iris of the Mersey and
Royal Daffodil, are still being used by locals and tourists alike.
Using around 160 old and new images, he tells the story of the
Ferries across the Mersey, showing a river that was once teeming
with ships but is now much quieter.
