Sumario:This study explores the history of tramp-shipping in the United Kingdom, between 1750 and 1914. It defines t̀ramp' as steamships exclusively hulled with iron or steel. The purpose of the journal is to keep the history of tramp-shipping from fading into obscurity, as the author believes the tramp steamer does not invoke sentimentality nor provide enough glamour to sustain the same level of maritime interest enjoyed by sailing ships or ocean liners.
