📖 The Scoop
This book presents the stories of the watermen who worked upon the inland waterways in Britain - on narrowboat, barge, wherry, coracle or tanker; along canals, rivers and the Broads. These are the stories of men like Jack Gill and Uncle Billy, men who dedicated their life to the work on the waterways. Though many of the contributors look back to a heyday when the waterways were busy with commercial traffic, this was also a period when competition was fierce, when each man raced the others to pick up his next load, often working through the night to make a decent pay packet. They make no secret of their struggle for survival. 'Voices From The Waterways' provides an invaluable record of a now almost vanished way of life.
Genre: Biography & Autobiography / Historical (fancy, right?)
