A White Funnel Album

The steamers of P&A Campbell were a memorable sight for hundreds of thousands who lived in the Bristol Channel area, Brighton and the South Coast and Southampton. For many, a trip down the water on a White Funnel paddler was their solitary holiday each year. The ships themselves were well travelled, with many making excursions to France or to islands like Lundy. In A White Funnel Album Chris Collard, acknowledged expert on the fleet and its history, brings together 200 images of the ships in the heyday of the excursion steamer.
