This book celebrates the centenary of the Ramsey Steamship Co. Ltd. It is a short history in words and pictures illustrating its highlights and some of its difficult times. By way of a tribute to the longevity of this island-based company, having achieved one hundred years of operation, this book traces its development from 1913 to the present day, predominately using photographs that give an insight into the different aspects of running a small shipping company. It charts the progress of a proud Manx company that is now among one of the very few early coastal tramp steamship companies to have survived into the 21st century albeit trading further afield than the British Isles. During its lifetime it has owned and operated just twenty-six ships.
