Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Not what I expected   August 28, 2008
P. Stemberger (Slovenia)
I think the book covers a lot of ships and liners, but is very poor in description. It only states basic characteristics. I have to admit I expected more...


5 out of 5 stars An excellent basic reference.   November 6, 1999
18 out of 18 found this review helpful

If 1/3 of a page and one photo for each ship is enough info for you, this is an outstanding quick reference. I only wish the author had included a few significant ships of under 15,000 tons, and with the recent spate of very large new cruise ships, the book is slightly dated. A cross-reference list of sister ships might also have been welcome. No matter; this is still one of the most heavily-used books on my shelf.
