Snapshot of teeming Teignmouth
Teignmouth and its Ships, by David Fletcher
The Devon port of Teignmouth has seen many ships pass through its waters over the years, and this collection by David Fletcher shows off a snapshot of them. Whether it's a lifeboat, a tourist ferry or a Dutch river-ship, there's a place for it in this book, with a caption that adds character and depth to the image.
Highlights include a dramatic shot of RMS Goule departing, with a backdrop of fireworks, and a shot of Teignmouth Grand Pier with the Queen Mary 2 gliding along in the distance.
