The great liners of earlier era still engender a huge amount of interest and
fascination in the modern world, particularly with the revival of interest
in holiday cruising. This new book is a pictorial tribute to the
transatlantic liner, from the pioneering ships of the 19th century to the
golden age of sea travel when ships such as the Queen Mary, Lusitania, Queen
Elizabeth, Hamburg and Normandie all competed for the prestigious 'Blue
Riband' and carried their wealthy passengers across the Atlantic in
unashamed luxury.
The authors have used their extensive collection of historic postcards to
illustrate the story of these classic liners and the detailed captions give
a wealth of information. An ideal book for all those with an interest in the
luxury liners of a bygone age.
