Ocean Freighter Heyday

Superb photographs showing a lost way of like.

Excellent photographs. Fascinating, knowledgeable footnotes. This is a gem of a book, superbly produced, A wonderful book for anyone interested in ships, their Owners, and the cross-connections of the shipping world. Vividly celebrates a vintage era for cargo liner vessels, those who sailed in them, and those who owned and operated them.

I have long enjoyed Malcolm's photographs, and have a particular interest in the subject matter here. This was an ideal book of good quality colour photographs of those traditional pre-container ships, and I thoroughly recommend it for those with a similar interest.
