One of London's most successful tramp ship operators, in business from 1887 to 1979. Particularly successful at playing the market, and buying and selling ships at the right time. Harrisons' fleet was rebuilt in the 1930s, but suffered grievous war losses, which are fully documented. A depleted post-war fleet included two bulk carriers and managed coasters. Few tramp ship companies have been as well documented.

Malcolm was a taxi driver in Canterbury for nearly 40 years. His insight into the taxi world and the regulations that went with it were brought to our attention in Taken for a Ride, published back in 2002. Nearing retirement age and disillusioned with his taxi life, he again put pen to paper and Driven to the Brink was published. He retired a month before his 65th birthday, on the day his badge expired - he was Dropped Over the Edge. A very pleasant experience he feels!

The first comprehensive history of this important class of ship. Contains the fruit of much original research. Highly readable text complimented by a superb collection of rare photos.
