Explore the history of ocean liners through the objects that bring them to life. Liners represented the ambitions of their nations in peace and war; their design, interiors, and fittings incorporated the finest contemporary technological and artistic features. In peacetime they carried celebrities, vacationers, and emigrants; while in war they carried thousands of troops—and then war brides seeking new lives. A History of Ocean Liners in 50 Objects takes in evolving technology, supreme luxury, and fine cuisine, as well as hardship and the burning hope for a better life. There is peril, disaster, and death, international pride and competition, glory and war. The objects tell a fascinating story, showing how the functional sea voyage has evolved from the late 19th and early 20th century to the huge cruise industry we have today.
