"One of the most comprehensive pictorial references on ocean liners ever published this superb chronicle by noted maritime historian William H. Miller Jr. . depicts and describes virtually every passenger ship of over 15000 tons built between 1860 and the late 1900s. The first ship in this glorious cavalcade is the 'Great Eastern' launched in 1860. The last vessels featured are spectacular c. ruise ships now under construction. Among the other ships in this memorable maritime assembly are such megaliners as the 'Queen Elizabeth' 'France' and 'Sovereign of the Seas'; the legendary 'Titantic' 'Lusitania' and 'Normandie'; 'floating . ho te ls ' su ch as the 'Monarch of the Seas' 'Regal Princess' and 'Imagination'; and 'wedding cake-style' cruise ships among them the 'Crystal Symphony' and 'Fascination'. These vessels have covered the seven seas. They were - and are - in rou. tes tr ans at lan ti c and transpacific African and South American colonial Indian Indochinese and Australian. A number of them have circumnavigated the globe. More than 400 historic photographs depict the fabled ships documenting dramatic ch. ange s in des ign and co nstruction over the years.
