Present-day demand for air travel has almost outmoded the passenger ship; it has been unable to maintain the tempo of the airlines and has reluctantly moved out of the scene.
The author here takes a nostalgic look back to the heyday of the passenger ship, providing a brief history of 211 ships of over 10,000 tons, together with specification and technical details of each.
For ready reference, the reader will find such diverse facts as:
who built the ships
where and when they were built
tonnage and dimensions
type of engine
cruising speed
passenger accommodations, officers and crew
maiden voyages and final dispositions
sister ships
general histories
and much more.
To this revised edition has been added new technical data, and updated information about last voyages and final dispositions of ships.
In all, thirteen of the better known steamship companies dating back as far as 1893 are featured in this book. The book is illustrated with an original photograph of each of the 211 ships.
