(With Portsmouth, Poole and Weymouth)
by R. Bruce Grice and David F. Hutchins
ENGLAND'S SOUTH COAST PORTS - Southampton, Portsmouth, Poole, and Weymouth - have played host to an enormous variety of ships over the years. Southampton is still frequented by many of the world's greatest passenger ships, while Portsmouth has long been the home of naval vessels, both historic and ultra-modern. For half a century and more, R. Bruce ("Bob") Grice has recorded this passing scene with his camera. A brilliant professional photographer, he has captured the everyday activity and the spirit of these ports and has observed many of the great set-piece events, such as the Silver Jubilee Fleet Review and the Tall Ships' Race. Sometimes he has hitched a lift on tugs, or climbed cranes, in order to gain the best view for extra-special pictures. Now, at last, some of his finest images, from photographs of HMS Victory to the new Queen Mary 2 are available in this new book. Much more than a book of photographs, it also has an informed and highly readable text by David F. Hutchings, the author of numerous successful works on great liners. He tells the story of each vessel so remarkably recorded in R. Bruce Grice's images. They make a great partnership!
