For many years Hull''s best-known ship owners, the Rix family have operated a fascinating variety of steam and motor coasters, plus inland and coastal tankers. All of these are covered in depth and illustrated in "Rix Shipping", which also tells the inside story of the family''s involvement in shipping. This extends beyond coastal and short-sea shipping, to bunkering operations, ownership of a shipyard on the Humber, and most recently to wind farm servicing craft. Written in partnership with family members, this is a fascinating portrait of the ups and downs of coastal shipping from the 1880s to the present day. A 96-page hardback in the familiar Ships in Focus style, this is highly detailed and profusely illustrated in colour black-and-white.
