Scotia (1845) and Caledonia (1856) : two little-known paddle steamers /Fraser G. MacHaffie

"This new book tells the extraordinary tale of two 19th century Clyde paddlers, Scotia (1845) and Caledonia (1856), that crossed the Atlantic to serve as blockade-runners in the American Civil War and later enjoyed peacetime careers on the eastern seaboard of North America. The author, Fraser G MacHaffie, is a distinguished steamer historian and a member of the CRSC for many years. Fraser played a major part in the development of the CRSC before moving to work and live in the USA. The Club have been honoured to have Fraser as a speaker over the past three winter seasons, during his visits home to friends and family. His immaculately researched narrative illuminates a long-neglected period of Clyde steamer history."--Provided by the publisher.
