The River Thames is one of the most iconic rivers in the world. It has been a vital artery of transportation and trade for centuries, and its banks are lined with some of England's most historic towns and villages. One of the most fascinating aspects of the River Thames is its ferries. Ferries have been operating on the river for centuries, and they have played a vital role in the lives of the people who live and work along its banks.
In his new book, Ferries Of The Upper Thames: A Journey Through History, author John Heyworth explores the history of the ferries that have operated on the upper Thames. The book is full of beautiful photographs and illustrations, and it provides a wealth of information about the people and events that have shaped the history of these ferries.
Heyworth begins his book by discussing the earliest ferries that operated on the Thames. These ferries were small, wooden boats that were rowed across the river by hand. As trade and travel increased along the river, the ferries became larger and more sophisticated. By the 18th century, there were a number of horse-drawn ferries operating on the Thames. These ferries were able to carry large numbers of people and goods, and they played a vital role in the development of the region.
In the 19th century, the of steam power revolutionized the operation of ferries on the Thames. Steam-powered ferries were much faster and more efficient than horse-drawn ferries, and they could carry even more people and goods. The advent of steam power led to a boom in the ferry industry, and new ferries were built all along the river.
The 20th century saw the decline of the ferry industry on the Thames. The development of bridges and tunnels made it easier to cross the river, and the rise of the automobile made it less necessary to use ferries. However, a number of ferries still operate on the Thames today, and they continue to play an important role in the lives of the people who live and work along the river.
Ferries Of The Upper Thames: A Journey Through History is a fascinating book that tells the story of these iconic vessels. Heyworth's book is full of beautiful photographs and illustrations, and it provides a wealth of information about the people and events that have shaped the history of the ferries of the Upper Thames.
If you are interested in the history of the River Thames or in the history of transportation, then you will definitely want to read Ferries Of The Upper Thames: A Journey Through History. Heyworth's book is a must-read for anyone who loves the River Thames or who is interested in the history of England.
