The growth of the ocean liner was driven not only by political & social changes, & developments in marine technology & design but also by increased competition as new companies were established to meet the demands of travellers. Most liner books tend to be focussed on the transatlantic routes whereas the main aim of this book is to tell the story of the whole global development of the ocean liner. The means that not only are the well-known vessels featured but also many lesser known routes & ships. The story starts in the ninetheenth century with the greatest migration ever seen. Communications around the world were also rapidly improving with the introduction of railways, the opening of the Suez Canal, a universal postal system &, most importantly, the laying of undersea telegraph cables. Tourism as we know it took off in the 1870s & 1880s. This was also a time of colonial expansion which would see Britain & other countries establishing empires around the world. To meet the dem&, passenger ships became increasingly important with great advances being made not only in ship design but also marine engineering. These technological innovations soon included the introduction not only of the turbine but also diesel engines. Ocean liners also became statements of national pride & artistic achievements. The story concludes in the 1960s when, despite increasing numbers of travellers choosing to fly rather than travel by sea, a final flurry of liners were built, many of which had shorter lives than planned. The unique text is supported by over 250 carefully chosen photographs, many of which have never been seen before. A truly unique & evocative book for merchant ship enthusiasts & historians. ...

The great age of ocean travel has long since passed, but ocean liners remain one of the most powerful & admired symbols of modernity. No form of transport was as romantic, remarkable, or contested, & ocean liner design became a matter of national prestige as well as an arena in which the larger dynamic s of global competition were played out. This beautifully illustrated book considers over a century of liner design: from the striking graphics created to promote liners to the triumphs of engineering, & from luxurious interiors to on board fashion & activities. Ocean Liners explores the design of Victorian & Art Deco `floating palaces`, sleek post-war liners as well as these ships` impact on avant-garde artists & architects such as Le Corbusier. ...
