| LINERS The Golden Age |
'Liners: The Golden Age' chronicles the great era of ocean liner travel from the close of the nineteenth century to the launch of the QЕ2 and beyond. In an age when a sea voyage stood for adventure, escape, and for some the prospect of a new life in a strange land, ocean liners with their glamour and prestige more than captured the imagination. Rivalries between nations abounded, epitomized by the race for the Atlantic and the prized Blue Riband, and reflected in the names of many of the ocean giants: Vaterland, Britannic, ile de France. From first class to steerage, deck games to banquets, from the celebrations of maiden voyages to the advers of disaster in both war and peace, this book - contains over 350 photographs from Getty Images. |
