Exploring the rich history of modern-day cruising
Have you wondered what the difference is between an ocean liner and a cruise ship? Are you amazed at the size of the biggest cruise ships? Perhaps you are keen to know what sailing on the first ever cruise ship was like?
From the introduction of steam power over 180 years ago, passenger shipping has changed dramatically. As new technologies were developed ships and shipping lines evolved, delivering ships capable of greater speed and safety, new luxuries and improved scale and size. The Evolution of the Passenger Ship explores the way ships were shaped over time, and how they in turn helped to shape the world around them.

I love these authors as their past work has been excellent. In this new book, they excel! It is a comprehensive & thoroughly well researched book that successfully tackles the topic of the passenger ship in an easy reading style that is accessible to all levels of enthusiast. It shares details that I've never heard before (despite my deep knowledge on the topic) and even delves into ancient history through to modern day cruising. What a treat Frame & Cross decided to take on such a big topic, & what a blessing they did such a masterful job of writing it.
