A Mersey ferry was recorded in the Domesday Book, & for around a thousand years, they have plied between Birkenhead & Wallasey on the Wirral & Liverpool.

The sail & man-powered craft gave way to steam ferries in 1815. In this book, Ian Collard tells the story of the Mersey ferries, concentrating on the steam & diesel powered eras from 1815 to the present day & including such famous ferries as Iris & Daffodil, which were involved in the Zeebrugge Raid of 1918.

The Mersey ferries have been immortalized in song, & even today, with the various tunnels under the Mersey, the three survivors of today, Snowdrop, Royal Iris of the Mersey & Royal Daffodil, are still being used by locals & tourists alike.

Using around 160 old & new images, he tells the story of the Ferries across the Mersey, showing a river that was once teeming with ships but is now much quieter.
