by Stewert Lenton with additional research and illustrations by Liz Lenton.

Very Much in the style of Stewert Lenton’s previous books ' Fishing Boats & Ports of Cornwall' and 'Fishing Boats & Ports of Devon' this book is a glossy paperback 6 x 9 inches and half spiral bound to enable it to lie flat on a surface when open.  It is attractively illustrated with many photographs and some diagrams on the introductory pages, and pages about the ports and places where registered fishing boats are kept.
Liz Lenton has written a section - ‘Exploring in Pursuit of Fishing Boats by where she outlines some of the benefits of exploring this way even for a non fishing-boat enthusiast and she details some of the things that have captured her interest in these visits to the coastline of the Principality.  

There is a general introduction by Stewart including some photographs demonstrating changes in specific fishing vessels, which result in difficulty identifying it as the same boat.  Following this Stewart devotes a section in turn to each of the places around the coast where fishing boats are found from 1).Newport, South Wales to 58).Connah’s Quay on the Dee in North Wales.    Each of the sections has a brief description and history with photos of the place itself, followed by a list and description of the boats usually kept there and their PLN (registration) numbers.  This is followed by Stewart’s colour photography of the boats.    There are two indices, one arranged alphabetically by the boat’s name, and the other alphanumerically by registration numbers.   On the front cover flap there is a map with the ports listed by number, and inside the back cover is a list of Welsh words and their meanings to be found in Welsh place-names.
