Specialising in maritime titles, Avid is an independent publisher on Merseyside in the north-west of Britain, started by David Roberts in 1990. David is an ex-Cammell Laird apprentice turned Lecturer, publisher, writer and broadcaster, and it is his Cammell Laird connections that got him started with his first two books about the once world famous shipyard on the Birkenhead side of the River Mersey, opposite Liverpool.

The DVD BLUE FUNNEL - VOYAGES & VOICES

and the book BLUE FUNNEL - VOYAGE EAST by Award Winning Author Richard Woodman

are both available from Avid

A great book which I thouroughly recomend.

Also available is the Glen and Shire Lines by Malcolm Cooper, Bill Harvey and Bill Laxon. Again well worth in investment.
