Ocean Liners of the World
Olivier Le Goff

This beautifully illustrated book describes in detail the story of over 50 famous ocean liners: the valorous Ile-de-France, the unlucky Deutschland, the Willem-Ruys, or the Titanic, the ruinous Vaterland or a war vessel like the Queen Mary. Rich in anecdotes, this book permits the reader to relive the adventure of an ocean voyage and learn about its historic and economic context. There is also a chapter on the ocean liner of today, the enormous progress it has made, and its possibilities for the future.
