A
Bristol Channel Album
By
Chris Collard
The White Funnel Fleet of P&A Campbell Ltd was
the mainstay of Bristol Channel steamer excursions

with the south-west of England and South Wales.
As well as the familiar Campbell steamers, this
book takes us on a journey that looks at other passenger
steamers that were once found in that busy waterway.
It includes many pieces of Campbell trivia as well
