From the Publisher

"After two decades of research, the foremost book on the great passenger liners is here. It 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 ships to floating palaces."

The book features pictures, statistics, and backgrounds of 280 passenger liners.

"The ultimate book for the ship lover," 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.

Mr. Cairis has spent much of his life in the maritime world. His avocational interest in maritime history over the years has earned him the position of expert and three books to his credit: North Atlantic Passenger Liners, Passenger Liners of the World, and Cruise Ships of the World.
