ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Robert (Bob) Fildes was born in the United Kingdom, where he obtained a Degree in Economics at the University of Kingston-upon-Hull, Yorkshire, in 1968. Shortly after graduation he emigrated to Australia, where he has lived ever since and is a naturalized Australian.

In Australia Bob Fildes worked for the N.S.W. Government in the Ministry of Transport and subsequently as a technical college teacher in Sydney, where he was scriptwriter and consultant for several educational films, including “Ships and Cargoes”. Bob has previously published a number of shipping books eg. “The Ships that serve Australia and New Zealand”, as well as being the editor for some years of the Sydney Heritage Fleet quarterly magazine “Australian Sea Heritage”. He also supplies ship photos for use in some well known U.K. ship reference publications.

A lifelong interest in all kinds of ships together with a desire to photograph them has provided the basis for this book and CD. All the photos in this book and CD are by Bob Fildes unless otherwise stated.
