Picture History of the Cunard Line, 1840–1990

Summary: Recalling Historic Cunard Liners
Review: As a source of both information and rare photographs, few books can equal Picture History of the Cunard Line. This book includes many little known facts about some of the most famous ships in maritime history. Yet,while it recalls the careers of the better known Cunarders,it also addresses many of the Companies less remembered ships. The great Aquitania who's lengthy term of service included duties throughout both World Wars is finally given the attention it deserves. Virtually all of the companies intermediate steamers are reviewed as well. Because this book encompasses so many of Cunards' ships; and because it presents over 180 of the best photographs ever published on this subject, it should be a treasured addition to any collection. I highly recommend it to all readers particularly those with just a general interest in the subject.

Summary: Splendid pictures
Review: Be sure to buy this book! The pictures are well scanned and there are footnotes to tell you about the history of Cunard Line. The book also mentions about the Queens of the Atlantic, the Mary, Elizabeth and QE2. The layout is nice and the organization of information is discreet and orderly. It's quite a good read!

Summary: Over 180 photos, illustrations of famous Cunard Liners
Review: From its first sail/steam vessel Britannia in 1840, to today's sleek QE2 this pictorial history of the Cunard Line transports readers from early trans-Atlantic crossings, to the halcyon years of cruising. Photos include staterooms, decks, elegant dining rooms and lounges on board the Mauretania, Queen Mary, and both Queen Elizabeths, to name a few.Wartime scenes, both exterior and interior, are shown , as many of the ships played important parts in WWII.

Summary: Great book about an incredible company!
Review: You aren't an ocean liner buff if you don't have this book! It is REQUIRED. You also ought to have every other book written by Miller and Braynard - the books they've worked on together and apart are beyond words. I have close to all in my private collection. Do yourself a favor and get them all - today! You won't regret it.
