Great pictures, great stories! This nostalgic book follows the story of the last classdivided passenger ships that carried travellers from point to point.
Not portfilled cruise ships, in those final years, spanning thes through thes and into thes, they carried Hollywood and even royalty on the Atlantic, businessmen to South America and Africa, migrants to Australia and New Zealand, and visitors returning to European homelands.
This book nods to the Atlantic liners but also revels in the many other passenger ships, each divided by region, that plied trades around the world, vessels like the Antilles, Oslofjord, Kampala and Changsha.
It is a nostalgic parade of a bygone age, a generation of ships all but swept away in the sixties and seventies as jet travel changed the world.
