Sinopsis | ISBN: 9783833126192 | |
Here is an amazing chronicle of the great era of ocean liner travel from the late 19th century to the launch of the QE2 and beyond. The book is divided into decades, with a special chapter on the people's favourite, "Queen Mary". The most impressive part of this book is the extraordinary collection of 350 photographs, many previously unseen, showing first class to steerage, deck games to grand banquets, from the celebrations of maiden voyages to the adversity of catastrophe. The Hulton Getty Picture Library has produced another superb book in their golden age of transport series. This book is filled with beautiful and evocative images - many of which have been printed for the first time. The text is written with the expert consultancy of Clive Harvey (formerly chairman of the Ocean Liner Society). It is a must buy for all Ocean Liner fans and anyone who wishes to wallow in the nostalgia of this most romantic form of transport. |
