As specialists in this fascinating field of shipping, Miles Cowsill and John Hendy have, since founding Ferry Publications in 1987, produced a total range of publications covering all aspects of the ever-changing ferry scene in the North Sea, English Channel, Solent, Irish Sea, Scottish and now Scandinavian spheres of operations.

From its inception Ferry Publications Ltd has been a joint enterprise between John Hendy and Miles Cowsill. On 1st April 2007 Ferry Publications commenced to operate under the wing of Lily Publications Ltd in the Isle of Man. There is no way this will affect the nature and style of the successful Ferry Publications brand, which will continue to operate to its usual high standard.

New titles and amended updates are constantly being produced or are in the planning stage. In order to keep up to date both with what is going on in the world of European ferries and with our new titles, the reader is strongly recommended to subscribe to our quarterly magazine 'European Ferry Scene', which now also includes information on what's happening in Scandinavia and the Mediterranean.

Ferry Publications has gained a reputation for producing high quality books at very affordable prices. We pride ourselves in the standard of photographic reproduction which we achieve and we believe that our books fill a considerable gap in the market, not only for ship enthusiasts but also for anyone who has a passing interest in the ships and the sea.
