Publisher's Synopsis
Had you seen a vessel of Brittany Ferries heading across the Channel from France in 1973 - the year in which this French company was established - it would not have been carrying ferry passengers but fresh produce, grown by Breton farmers and on its way to the daily markets of south-west England. From this unlikely enterprise has flourished one of Europe's most successful shipping companies. Today, Brittany Ferries is not only the leading ferry operator on the Western Channel but also renowned for an extensive choice of hotel and self-catering holidays in France and Spain. This new book tells and superbly illustrates the whole fascinating story to date.
