From the Back Cover

One of the most comprehensive pictorial references on ocean liners ever published, this superb chronicle by noted maritime historian William H. Miller, Jr. depicts and describes virtually every passenger ship of over 15,000 tons built between 1860 and the late 1900s. The first ship in this glorious cavalcade is the Great Eastern, launched in 1860. The last vessels featured are spectacular cruise ships now under construction.

Among the other ships in this memorable maritime assembly are such megaliners as the Queen Elizabeth, France and Sovereign of the Seas, the legendary Titanic, Lusitania and Normandie, "floating hotels" such as the Monarch of the Seas, Regal Princess and Imagination, and "wedding cake-style" cruise ships, among them the Crystal Symphony and Fascination.

These vessels have covered the seven seas. They were -- and are -- in routes transatlantic and transpacific, African and South American, colonial Indian, Indochinese and Australian. A number of them have circumnavigated the globe. More than 400 historic photographs depict the fabled ships, documenting dramatic changes in design and construction over the years. Descriptive entries provide vital statistics on each builder, tonnage, length, speed, passenger load, history and distinguishing characteristics.
