Looking back at bulk carriers

One of my favourite things is looking at photographs of hard working vehicles, whether on land, at sea or in the air. They don't have the glamour of some forms of transportation such as ocean liners or express locomotives, but are just as - and arguably more - vital to the world. So, there are plenty of examples of these in Andrew Wiltshire's book Looking back at bulk carriers.

As the introduction of the book says, the bulk carrier is the real workhorse of the sea, plying loads such as iron ore and coal across the world. This book is full of superb photographs of these workhorses, which have been superbly reproduced.
