The Liner: Retrospective and Renaissance ReviewI bought this book because it looked different from the other ocean liner books out there, and I was so glad I did. Philip Dawson's book, The Liner: Retrospective and Renaissance, presented very detailed information about the internal design and layout of so many different ships including the Normandie and Queen Mary.
This work discusses in detail what aspect of design was developed on ship "X" and then reused on ship "y", for example. There are also photos and floor plans for a number is vessels, but this is by no means a picture book or illustrated history. There is also a whole chapter devoted to the design of the Queen Mary 2.The Liner: Retrospective and Renaissance Overview
A spectacularly illustrated account of the ocean liner's place in transportation and social history.
The iconic ocean liner, with its towering dark hull and brilliant white superstructure, remains a powerful symbol of human endeavor. This unique two-hundred-year retrospective takes us from the liner's origins in mail services to its role as nineteenth-century mass transportation, in wartime and in immigration to the New World, and finally to its modern renaissance in the Queen Mary 2, the first liner to be built in thirty years. With cruising now a major tourist industry, this new liner has emerged with a clear stylistic lineage from some of the most illustrious vessels of the past.Along with the design and construction of established favorites and lesser-known ships, The Liner explores the human story of the engineers, builders, crew, and passengers. Illustrated throughout with photographs, artworks, and plans, some specially commissioned, this is an essential work for all liner enthusiasts, maritime historians, and anyone who has sailed aboard these fine vessels.Foreword By Stephen Payne, OBE, Chief Naval Architect Of Queen Mary 2.
