'Liners: The Golden Age' chronicles the great era of ocean liner travel in a wonderful collection of photographs, from the close of the nineteenth century to the launch of the QE2 and beyond. Ocean liners captured the imagination, becoming the hallmark of luxury and fantasy. This was an age when the voyage stood for adventure, escape, and for some the prospect of a new life in a strange land. There were great rivalries between nations, epitomized by the race for the Atlantic and the prized Blue Riband, and reflected in the names of many of the ocean giants: Vaterland, Britannic, Île de France. Despite its glamour and prestige the ocean liner voyage sometimes met spectacular disaster in both war and peace.From first class to steerage, deck games to grand banquets, from the celebrations of maiden voyages to the adversity of catastrophe, this book is illustrated with over 350 photographs from the Hulton Getty Picture Collection, including many previously unseen pictures.
