Notes:
The author was a retired sea captain who had trained in Cardiff and lived there for many years. His researched account largely focuses on training institutions at Cardiff for seamen but also contains some coverage of Cardiff's economic maritime life - steam packet companies, pilotage and port development. Most notable is a chapter on shipbuilders that gives lengthy coverage of the Batchelors business and shorter references to other builders such as N Scot Russell [son of John]; Mount Stuart Shipbuilding & Graving Dock & Engineering Co Ltd; Mitchell & Co; Charles Hill & Son; etc
