Keith Hall Boeken
Keith Hall is de auteur van talrijke werken die zich richten op de regio Clyde, de marinegeschiedenis en met name onderzeeërs. Zijn boeken bevatten vaak uitgebreide collecties van oude foto's en ansichtkaarten uit de omgeving. Zijn meest recente publicatie duikt in de K-13 onderzeeër, die aan het begin van de 20e eeuw zonk tijdens zijn eerste proefduik. Een belangrijke drijfveer voor dit werk was het zuiveren van de naam van Luitenant Lane, die als enige verantwoordelijk werd gehouden voor dit tragische ongeval. Hall's onderzoek bevraagt de bevindingen van het officiële onderzoek en presenteert een alternatief scenario. Hij werkt momenteel aan een boek over de Trident-onderzeeërs van de marine.
