First class : legendary ocean liner voyages around the world
"Not so long ago, magnificent ocean liners—unmatched in opulence by today’s vessels—sailed the seas from New York to Rio, Alexandria to Marseilles, and from Southampton to Singapore. In this enchanting book, presented in a slipcase made to resemble a battered steamer trunk, these legendary ships—The Normandie, The Mauretania, and The Majestic —are gloriously resurrected through photographs, posters, watercolors, advertising art, memorabilia, and more. First Class: Legendary Ocean Liner Voyages Around the World leads readers on an illustrated tour of these great liners, from glamorous dining rooms and gleaming table services to elaborate staterooms and exquisite salons. Divided into six fantastic journeys, First Class is an unparalleled celebration of the elegance, sophistication, and comfort of a bygone era in ocean travel"--Provided by publisher
