Description
At a time when everything is constantly changing, it is timely to look back to the comfort of a familiar and golden era aboard British passenger liners, when the British-flag passenger fleet spanned the world - from Southampton, London & Liverpool to South America, Africa, India, the Far East, Australia &, beyond. In this latest full-colour collection of imagery, much of it unseen, William H. Miller looks back at the post-war period through the 1950s and 60s, when the world was entering another period of great change, and revels in the beloved stars of the ocean, including such ships as Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, Mauretania and Caronia, QE2, Canberra, Oriana, Windsor Castle, Queen Victoria, QE (current) and QM2. This beautiful book is structured by company, from the Anchor Line to the Union-Castle Line - and featuring many others besides, such as Blue Star Line, British India, Cunard, Ellerman, New Zealand Shipping Co, Orient Line, P&O and Shaw Savill Line.
