Pictorial Encyclopedia of Ocean Liners, 1860-1994 : 417 Photographs

Rating:
Summary: An excellent basic reference.
Review: 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.
