Carefully packed and quickly sent. 201605623 Based upon superb and previously unpublished photographs, this book reflects the extraordinary changes which passenger shipping has undergone over the past half century. The glory and one-upmanship of the mid and late thirties, when the biggest, fastest and grandest liners sailed into service, were followed by those hideously destructive years of the Second World War. Post-war prosperity, the emergence of a new travelling middle class and more tourists than ever, produced a triumphant revival on the North Atlantic. William Miller has written many books about ocean liners and travels extensively, giving lecture tours aboard and about the vessels. Please choose Priority / Expedited shipping for faster delivery.
