In the post-war era, there was still a demand for ocean-going
travel, not just on the glamorous large liners and mail ships, but
also on much smaller ships. Many of these could be just as well
appointed and comfortable and doubtless provided an intimacy that
may have been missing from the larger and faster ships. If time was
not a vital consideration, and money possibly was, then travel by
cargo liner was an ideal option. The pictures presented here
represent souvenirs of an era that air travel and the onset of the
fast container ship have totally obliterated. Many of the
photographs presented here were acquired between 1961 and 1965 from
the major British and European shipping companies, some of whom
responded particularly generously. Some Asian and American
companies contributed as well. This material gives an insight into
the use of postcards and photographs as a vital part of marketing,
promotion and public relations in a world that was soon to
disappear. Here, Mark Lee Inman collects some of the most
interesting pictures and postcards of this era.
