Trident Tankers Ltd

I love an obscure maritime history book me, and this one on the entry of P&O into the oil and gas tanker trade certainly qualifies. 

In fact, this is a rather excellent book, packed full of photographs of small tankers and their operations, many from the author who served on some of the ships included here.

I also enjoy some of the technical information presented here such as the pump and line arrangement in some of the tankers. This is the kind of information that you will be hard pressed to find anywhere else except maybe in very niche (and expensive) technical journals. Of course, why you would ever need the information is a question, but personally one i do not feel you ever need to ask.

A wonderful book.
