Thick 8vo., 496pp. Beautiful First Edition, First Printing with full number line. Bound in publisher's 1/2 pale blue cloth over paper covered boards. 250 drawings and photos. SSquare, tight and clean throughout with a hint of wear to spine ends but quite minor.

An evocative recreation of great cruise ship conversion, construction & design, to the pleasures and occasional perils of life on board.
