- Summary:
- Many books have been written about the inland waterways, but very little about those who have lived and worked upon them. This book presents the stories of the watermen -- on narrow boat, barge, wherry, or tanker; along canals, rivers, or the Broads. These are the stories of those who may have witnessed the final stages of the closing of the waterways to commercial traffic.
