In this new book, presented in a slipcase made to resemble a battered steamer trunk, six fabled routes traveled by the world's most legendary passenger ships—including The Normandie, The Mauretania, and The Majestic—are resurrected through photographs, posters, watercolors, advertising art, memorabilia, and more.
“First Class: Legendary Ocean Liner Voyages Around the World engaged me from the get-go, its slender landscape-oriented format, as sleek and elegant as an ocean liner. Gérard Piouffre’s masterful blend of photographs, history, and ocean liner lore effortlessly transported me—an unabashed sentimentalist—right back to the nostalgic heyday of ocean liner travel. Would that it were possible to book passage on each of the voyages mapped out.” —Stephen Lash, Chairman of Christie’s, North and South America and founder of the Ocean Liner Museum
