Summary

This book charts the expansion of the marine diesel on the British and Irish short sea routes. All the major motor driven units built before 1970 are described in detail, and the more important units built after that are also described. The story includes the trials and tribulations of these vessels, their crews and passengers. The war service of many of the diesel vessels is legion, and this account benefits greatly from the personal recollections of Ian Leafe, now aged 84, who was Junior Electrician aboard the 'Ulster Monarch' during much of World War II.This title charts the expansion of the marine diesel on British and Irish sea routes.
