The S&D is remembered for its railway through the Mendips, and not so well known is its activities with shipping, including paddle steamers, screw steamships and ketches. For nearly a century from 1850 the ports at Burnham and Highbridge saw a wide variety of regular ferry services and cargo boats. This book is the result of 30 years research and brings together the story of the ships that played a full and exciting part of the railway's history.
