The island’s of Corsica, Sardinia and Elba are served by a very wide variety of ferries, operated by companies whose histories are among the most interesting and whose rivalries are some of the most intense in the Mediterranean. Here, for the first time, the story of the development of ferry services to the islands since the Second World War is recounted, illustrated with numerous fine images, here published for the first time.

Bruce Peter has been a regular visitor to Corsica, Sardinia and Elba since the early-2000s and has developed a great affection for the islands and the ships serving them.
