A nostalgic glance astern at the glory days of Peninsular & Oriental (P&O) both at sea & on shore. Drawing on personal recollections in the archives of P&O Heritage, Ruth Artmonsky looks back at the company during the age of empire & a bygone time when travelling P&O captured the imagination of writers from Thackeray to Noel Coward. In addition the book takes a curator`s tour of the company`s art collection which dates back to P&O`s foundation in 1837.

? From humble beginnings in the 1830s, The Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company grew to dominate British mercantile shipping for much of the nineteenth & twentieth centuries. Initially, the company`s paddle steamers carried Her Majesty`s Mail to the Iberian Peninsula, as the name implies, but over time P&O extended its routes across the Mediterranean & onwards to the Middle East, Far East & Australasia. Besides the mail, P&O liners carried bullion, silk, tea, & even opium as well as passengers. The company came to represent the British Empire at sea
- but as the Empire waned & British travellers took to the air, so a golden age of travelling by sea came to an end. Ruth Artmonsky here delves into the P&O Heritage Collection to take a nostalgic glance astern at all those who travelled P&O.
