HOW THE GOLDEN AGE OF TRANSATLANTIC TRAVEL BETWEEN THE WARS TRANSFORMED WOMEN'S LIVES ACROSS ALL CLASSES - A VIVID CROSS SECTION OF LIFE ON-BOARD THE ICONIC OCEAN LINERS FROM BELOW DECKS TO THE CAPTAIN'S TABLE. 'In this riveting slice of social history, Sian Evans does a brilliant job of describing the unexpected textures of life at sea...By deep diving into the archives, Sian Evans has discovered a watery in-between world where the usual rules didn't quite apply and a spirited woman could get further than she ever would on dry land. - Mail on Sunday Migrants and millionairesses, refugees and aristocrats all looking for a way to improve their lives. After WW1 a world of opportunity was opening up for women ... Before convenient air travel, transatlantic travel was the province of the great ocean liners and never more so than in the glory days of the interwar years. It was an extraordinary undertaking made by many women. Some traveled for leisure, some for work; others to find a new life, marriage, to reinvent themselves or find new opportunities. Their stories have remained largely untold - until now. Maiden Voyages is a fascinating portrait of these women, and their lives on board magnificent ocean liners as they sailed between the old and the new worlds. The ocean liner was a microcosm of contemporary society, divided by class: from the luxury of the upper deck, playground for the rich and famous, to the cramped conditions of steerage or third class travel. These iconic liners were filled with women of all ages, classes and backgrounds: celebrities and refugees, migrants and millionairesses, aristocrats and crew members. Full of incredible gossip, stories and intrigue, Maiden Voyages has a diverse cast of inspiring women - from A-listers like Josephine Baker, a dancer from St Louis who found fame in Paris, Marlene Dietrich and Wallis Simpson, Violet 'the unsinkable' Jessop, a crew member who survived the sinking of the Titanic, and entrepreneur Sibyl Colefax, a pioneering interior designer. Whichever direction they were travelling, whatever hopes they entertained, they were all under the spell of life at sea, a spell which would only break when they went ashore. Maiden Voyages is a compelling and highly entertaining account of life on board: part dream factory, part place of work, independence and escape - always moving.

In der guten alten Zeit hatte der Schiffskonstrukteur hinsichtlich der Takelung schon seine Schuldigkeit getan, wenn er eine vollst ndige Segelzeichnung mit einem Verzeichnis der Abmessungen der Rundh lzer und allenfalls noch des stehenden Gutes angefertigt hatte. Die Ausf hrung der Beschlagteile konnte er dem Schmied und dem Schlosser, die der Bl cke dem Blockmacher und das brige dem Takelmeister und dem Segelmacher berlassen. Die vorerw hnten Arbeiten wurden in der Regel handwerksm ig betrieben, und dies ist auch der Grund, weshalb in keinem Buch auch nur einigerma en brauchbare Zeichnungen oder Skizzen ber die Einzelheiten der Takelung enthalten waren. Dies hatte sich um die Jahrhundertwende, als die Segelschiffe immer gr er wurden, ge ndert, und vor diesem Hintergund entstand dieses Buch. Autor war der damalige Direktor des Germanischen Lloyds, Friedrich Ludwig Middendorf, ein ausgewiesener Fachmann auf dem Gebiet des Schiffbaus. Gro e Segelschiffe waren sein Steckenpferd. Mit dem Buch verfolgte er akribisch den Zweck, die Literatur ber die Bemastung und Takelung der Schiffe fort zu f hren und dem Schiffbauer jener Tage alle erforderlichen Informationen in geb ndelter Form an die Hand zu geben, die er braucht. Heute stellt das Werk eine einzigartige Informationsquelle ber die Segelschiffahrt vergangener Tage dar, die weit ber technische Aspekte hinaus geht. Im ersten Teil des Buches finden sich die allgemeinen theoretischen Grundlagen, die zum selbst ndigen Entwerfen von Segelzeichnungen erforderlich sind. Im zweiten Teil sind von den verschiedensten Segel- und Dampfschiffstakelungen, die gegenw rtig bei deutschen Schiffen vorkommen, Abbildungen und Anleitungen zur Berechnung der Gr e der einzelnen Teile der Bemastung gegeben. Die Berechnungen sind m glichst bersichtlich gehalten, so dass sich auch der Anf nger leicht darin zurechtfinden kann. Im dritten Teil dieses Buches werden die verschiedenartigsten Beschl ge, Bl cke etc. durch Zeichnungen und Ski
