A Photographic Look at the Great Passenger Ships today January 2, 1999
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
One Hundred Eighty three pages of Ocean Liners is what you will find when you take a look at the title "Great Passenger Ships of the World Today." This hardcover book features photo's of almost all the ships reviewed and a history from their construction to their more recent port of call. Kludas has compiled one of the most concise Ocean Liner books next to the Fifty Famous Liners series from Braynard. An Appendix list the ships in Alphabetical order. Liners that have become floating hotels or featured a rich history but are now laid up are also featured. You'll find Information on the S.S. United States all the way to the maybe less known Aquarama. Because of the timeline included with each ship biography,It was through reading this that we discovered the unlucky history of the now destroyed Achilli Lauro. The title also includes 10 pages of full color pictures and an appendix showing passenger ships withdrawn between 1986 and 1991. Readers will be saddened to see pictures of the Sally Albatross after a fire engulfed her decks. I enjoyed reading this encyclopedia of Great ships, all which registered over 10,000 tons, and refer to it often after a Sea visit to point out ships we've seen in port. My only disappointment is that since this book was written Princess has launched several new ships as well as Disney, and other operators. An update would already be approprite for this book. Nontheless, for the ship enthusiast, "Great Passenger Ships of the World Today" from Arnold Kludas is a great title to have in a personal library.
