The commercial paddle steamer was the Comet of 1812. Soon competitive steamer services developed, resulting in bigger and magnificent vessels, and before long no seaside resort was complete without a pleasure steamer moored alongside the pier. This book outlines the efforts to preserve what remains of pleasure steamer heritage in Britain.
