Title: Working Boats of Britain by Eric McKee. Their shape and purpose
Summary: Eric McKee's Working Boats of Britain: Their Shape and Purpose is regarded as a classic study of Britain's traditional working craft. Rather than simply cataloguing boat types, McKee explains why different boats developed the shapes they did, relating hull form directly to the work they performed and the waters in which they operated. The book is based on his lifelong study of working boats around the coasts, rivers, and estuaries of Britain.
