The last decade has witnessed a remarkable resurgence of interes in Australia's shipping past. Dedicated individuals and groups have made great efforts and substantial sacrifices in order to save those vessels which are left, from sailing ships to steamers to river boats and ferries. As the nation nears its bicentennial celebrations, this book is intended as a salute to those men and women who have striven to save and restore part of this country's heritage. The books lists all known maritime projects and groups, and includes details of all vessels which are being preserved in some way. For the first time, all this information along with scores of photographs is collelcted in one volume. (Back cover)
