Charts the development of the ocean liner from the 19th century to the present day. This title explores the golden years of transatlantic shipping & the competition from the jet passenger aircraft. It is from Mike Roussel author of the much acclaimed The Story of Southampton Docks". Up until the early 19th century many emigrants would travel on the ocean-going sailing ships but when the steamships started transatlantic crossings in the early 1830s there was a greater interest by the shipping lines in carrying mail & passengers including a steerage class which increased profits. " Southampton-Maritime City" looks at the history & development of the early ocean-going steamships & the competition between shipping companies by the end of the 19th century to build liners that were extreme in luxury & aimed for the very wealthy. The book traces the history of the ocean liner through the 1920s & 30s the Golden Years of sea travel when Hollywood film stars jazz groups & big bands made the ocean liners of the time so famous through World War Two when many of these ocean liners were requisitioned for war service. It chronicles the post-war years when the European shipping lines transported war refugees to America & Canada & returned to Europe with tourists & business travellers & the competition in the 1950s from the arrival of the jet airliner which spelt disaster for transatlantic liner passenger traffic but gave some the opportunity to develop a cruise industry. More recently the book explores the arrival of the mega-cruise ship in the 1990s & the increase in the different kinds of cruises available. Illustrated with 250 photos & illustrations " Southampton-Maritime City" details the stories & anecdotes told by the crews & passengers who sailed in the 1950-60s & the experiences of the new cruisers from the 1970s onwards. In addition the book studies the designs & developments of the cruise ships being built today especially the Queen Mary 2 the only purpose-built ocean liner in the world today.
