This is the second half of a detailed history of sand dredging in
the Bristol Channel - the result of over thirty years' research.
Concentrating on the Welsh coast, A Century of Sand Dredging:
Volume Two documents the sand trade from its inception in 1912 to
the present day, and examines the sand dredgers employed through
the years, and the Welsh companies engaged in the trade.
Information has been drawn from a wide range of sources, including
the author's own experiences of the trade and its ships - his own
father was a master of Bristol sand dredgers for over twenty-five
years. Further information from interviews with crew members,
company records, shipping records and photographic records,
especially the Cedric Catt collection, has been collated and
presented, with a vast number of illustrations, to form a book that
will appeal to anyone with an interest in maritime trade and the
history of the Bristol Channel.
