Cosens of Weymouth 1848 - 1918
A History of the Bournemouth, Weymouth and Swanage Paddle Steamers
by Richard Clammer
The history of Cosens is at last completed with the publication of this volume, which details the company's story from its earliest beginnings in the mid 19th century through to the end of World War 1. Cosens' battles with rival steamer concerns form a constant thread running through the narrative interwoven with the developments of the main south coast resorts, dramatic rescues and salvage awards, and the gradual expansion of services as far west as Torquay and across the Channel to Cherbourg and the Channel Islands. Cosens' business was closely tied to the Fleet at Portland, with frequent trips to view the warships and the great Naval reviews and they also held the liberty boat contract. The diving, engineering and block ice operations of the company are all recorded and there is much detail too on Cosens' tug services and also on the building of many of the seaside piers which the steamers called at.
This is a comprehensive, entertaining and profusely illustrated history, including eight pages in colour, and with several plans, which will delight all maritime historians, ship modellers and students of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, as well as local historians right along the South Coast.
