Transatlantic Liners 1950 – 1970

Transatlantic Liners 1950 – 1970
by William H Miller

This book is a glorious reference of a grand, but bygone age to those passenger ships, large and small, that crossed the Atlantic. There were the likes of the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, SS United States, Caronia, Andrea Doria, but also smaller, less memorable ships such as the Noordam, Paryhia and Laurentia. The ships, over 150 of them, are grouped by owner – from the short-lived American Banner Line, to Israel’s Zim Lines. Each ship is given a full, detailed reference; details (routing, length, tonnage, builder, speed, passengers carried, etc) as well as a full chronology of the vessel’s career, including her ultimate disposition and fate. It serves as an extensive reference work that features an all-star maritime cast. 170 pages. Another fine publication by ‘Mr Ocean Liner’, William H Miller.
