Maritime history; Ships & shipping: general interest
""Serving on the Big Ships: Life on the Liners"" looks at passenger ship history from the perspective of recollections, impressions, and anecdotes of those who sailed these fine, but largely bygone vessels. It covers the last golden age of ocean liner travel, beginning in the 1950s and continuing into the 1970s and '80s. It reflects a pre-airline age-when passengers sailed from A to B, from port to port. It was before liners turned to cruising and where ports were more entertainment than destination. Staff members - from captains to stewards-recall the likes of Cunard & Holland-America on the North Atlantic, the Italian Line to the Mediterranean, Royal Mail Lines to South America, Union-Castle to Africa and P&O-Orient to Australia & the Far East.
