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 nineteenth and
early twentieth century to the huge cruise industry we have today.
