Product Description

This book recreates the ambiance of the ocean liner era by showing the actual objects used on board. Each piece of ocean-liner memorabilia is like an Aladdin's lamp, releasing wondrous memories of that grand style of travel. Beginning in the late 1890s, shipping lines forged their identities by commissioning unique furniture, china, silverware, glassware, vases, ashtrays, playing cards, menus, and stationery. These types of items characterized the different ocean liners, from the Normandie with her elegant Art Deco furnishings, to the stainless steel gleam of the S.S. United States, to the old-world luxury of the Queens.

About the Author

Myra Yellin Outwater made her first Atlantic crossing in 1971 aboard the Queen Elizabeth 2, a voyage that launched her on a quest for ocean liner collectibles and a half dozen more crossings. She and her husband, photographer Eric Boe Outwater, are members of the Ocean Liner Society and the Steamship Historical Society of America.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic exploration of ocean liner life: Titanic Reborn, May 25, 1999

By A Customer

I think that Myra and Eric Outwater did a fantastic job of assembling a vast array of interesting collectibles and relevant stories. The book really piqued my desire to go on an ocean liner and explore what elegant travel used to be. It is a must have for ocean liner lovers and experienced travelers. Makes for a great coffee table book as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent start for collectors, September 10, 1999

By A Customer

Outwater picked a fascinating subject. Her text is well thought out and the quality of the pictures are superb. Where the author hits a bump is that she had too much from modern liners and not enough from the older liners. Also the guesstimates on the prices of the items were a bit high. As a serious collector I think they were raising the rates on certain items long before their time.
