Luxury Liners: Life on Board

For over a century from the 1850s to the launch of the "QEII" in 1969, great ships like the "Queen Mary", "Normandie", and "Britannia" were undisputed monarchs of the sea, when the transatlantic crossing was still the swiftest route between Europe and America. This is a sumptuous illustrated history of the glamorous life aboard these enormous ships. The book's organization mimics an actual crossing: the mountains of cargo crammed below decks before the embarkation, the crossing itself, with entertainment that might include trained seals, the danger of shipwrecks, and finally arrival.
