Swiftest steam conveyance : by the royal route (via Crinan and Caledonian canals,) between Glasgow & the Highlands. ...
David Hutcheson & Co.
[Glasgow : s.n.,
1853.]
A broadside timetable for the routes of eight steamships from Glasgow to various Highland destinations, including Inverness, Fort William, and Oban. The steamers were operated by David Hutcheson & Co., founded in 1851 following the acquisition of the Inner and Outer Hebrides service formerly controlled by J. & G. Burns. In 1852 Hutcheson had built the "Moutaineer", the first of the ornate boats that were the immediate precursors to the line of fast mail packets that ultimately plied practically every part of the Western Highlands and Isles. The company remained the main carrier for freight and passengers in the Hebrides until their merger with the Caledonian Steam Packet Company in 1973.
