About This Item
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1973 For more than ten decades the Western Ocean was the setting for intense rivalry between shipowners in Western Europe and North America, competing for the prestige, passenger traffic and financial rewards which would accrue to the company operating the largest, fastest and most luxurious liners on the North Atlantic. This struggle for supremacy led to the building of a long line of ships which, when commissioned, epitomized all that was finest in naval architecture and marine engineering. The story of these liners, the triumphs and vicissitudes of their seagoing careers, is told in this detailed and profusely illustrated account.
