Summary

Description
English: British colliers were typically made with strong hulls that allowed them to be beached in places where there was no harbour. At low tide, carts were taken alongside the collier and coal was unloaded into them. When the railways were built this provided competition for the colliers that delivered to coastal towns, but some continued in this trade for much of the 19th century.
