Description
From Our Bargain Book Editors: With their incredibly opulent trappings, the great transatlantic ocean liners today seem like gargantuan throwbacks to an excessive era that catered to restless mobility, pampered leisure, and extravagant wealth. This beautifully designed book, with more than 300 vintage b&w photographs, resurrects that era of grande luxe, celebrating life aboard these ships; depicting the Lucullan tables, beguiling amusements, and sumptuous fittings; and re-creating such gracious refinements as full-dress dinners and breakfasts in bed. Takes us from construction to launching and from embarkation to arrival in port.
