The White Star Collection - A Shipping Line in Postcards (Paperback, New edition)

White Star Line was originally founded in Liverpool in 1845 for
travel to Australia but was eventually purchased by Thomas Ismay
and transformed into the successful Oceanic Steam Navigation Co.
Cleverly merging with Harland & Wolff, the line focussed on
luxury over speed, developing many of the world's favourite
vessels. Finally merging with its great rival Cunard in the 1930s
depression, the companies continued to operate separately while
flying one another's flags. This evocative book explores the
colourful history of White Star Line, from personal postcards with
messages from passengers, crew and troops, to the careers of her
vessels in peacetime and at war, all from Patrick Mylon's
impressive collection. It includes ships with alternative
identities, unusual stories like the planned escape of Dr Crippen,
and showcases a wide variety of interior views, adverts and
'proof', silk and Company Issue cards, conveying the glamour, drama
and history of this world-renowned line.
