The River Humber has been used for commercial navigation for
centuries and remains today as one of the busiest stretches of
waterway in Britain. Several books on the Humber concentrate on
Hull, almost to the exclusion of the South Bank of the river. This
collection of images, dating from the late nineteenth century to
the present day, is arranged topographically: travelling from Louth
and Cleethorpes upriver to the Ouse/Trent confluence. Over 150
illustrations feature keels, sloops, lighters and motor barges, all
of which have been present in steadily declining numbers over the
past five decades, together with the Lincolnshire boatyards where
many of them were built and maintained. Other small craft are also
included, such as dredgers, cross-rover ferries, pilot boats, tugs
and some sea-going craft, as well as images of the docks and
waterways themselves. Maps and photographs of several locations
have been selected to feature aspects of the Ancholme Navigation
and Louth Navigation, as well as the waterside areas of Grimsby,
Immingham, New Holland, Barrow Haven, Barton Waterside, Brigg,
Ferriby Sluice, Winteringham Haven, and inevitably, Hull, with
which they all have had cross-Humber links.
