Over the years, several books featuring shipping on the River
Humber have been published, but few have viewed their subject from
an inland waterway viewpoint. This book, together with its
companion volume "Shipping on the Humber - The South Bank",
attempts to fill that gap, though sea-going traffic has not been
ignored. Wooden sailing keels and sloops, characteristic of the
region in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and
the steel motor barges that came along later, are featured in the
illustrations, together with the shipyards where many of them were
built and maintained. Maps and photographs of inland waterway craft
at work on the docks, havens, rivers and canals of the Humber's
north bank have been selected from locations including Driffield,
Beverley, Brough, Hessle, Hedon, Newport and, of course, Hull.
