Stroud: The History Press, 2009 British Passenger Liners of the '50's & 60's.
It was the Golden Age of British passenger shipping, when new liners were still being constructed and the finest liners afloat, the Cunard Queens, were at their peak. The airplane had yet to overtake the ocean liner as the "only way to travel" and wouldn’t do so until the early 1960s. What the liner lost in speed, it certainly made up for in luxury. British liners still ruled the waves, setting sail almost daily to the United States and Canada and weekly to Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.

It covers periods stretching from 1784, the year the first ship flying the American flag reached China, to 1867, the eve of the Civil War.
