VINTAGESTAN BOOKS
Title: Tramp Ships by Roy Fenton. An Illustrated History 
Summary: Tramp Ships: An Illustrated History is a history of tramp ships, cargo vessels that had no fixed routes or schedules. Instead, they travelled wherever cargo was available, carrying materials such as coal, grain, timber, china clay and oil. 
Fenton traces the development of these ships over more than 100 years, beginning in the 1860s, when steam tramps developed from coal-carrying ships. He follows their development through the late 19th century, First World War, inter-war period, Second World War and post-war years, ending with their gradual replacement by specialised bulk carriers during the 1980s.
