From the Inside Flap

“After two decades of research the foremost book on the great passenger liners is here. Greatly expanded over two previous editions with an additional seventy ships spanning a century of ocean travel from inception to its demise. The gilded era comes back to life as the reader relives the careers of stately ships and express greyhounds from immigrant ship to floating palace.”

Featuring pictures, statistics, and background of 280 passenger liners.

“The ultimate book for the shiplover” says Lloyd's List, London.

“Amidst the flotsam and jetsam of ocean liner books that bob up every so often none is more complete. The paragon book on the great liners, ” The Times.
