The Only Way to Cross by John Maxtone-Graham 1997 reprint.
Certainly, one of the best “overview” books that sparked many of today’s middle-aged ship lovers’ interest in the then waning days of Ocean Liners. This book is a staple in most diverse ocean liner libraries. I expect JMG is somewhere in purgatory stuck on the tarmac of a jet liner bound for some warmer destination.
Ocean Liners: By Olivier Le Goff
A great hardbound history book that traces the development and history of over 30 liners stating with the German Kaiser Wilhelm Der Grosse and ending with the Russian Aleksandr Pushkin. Of course all the big liners are covered Mauretania-Lusitania, Olympic-Titanic-Britannic, QM, Normandie , United States … but also some lesser knowns get attention like the Cap Arcona ,Felix Roussel, and Willem Ruys. The book ends with “tomorrow” a rather nice overview of cruise liners and the cruise industry.
Excellent condition.

Georgian Bay Line: Michigan History: Remembering The Georgian Bay Lines
Lovely several page article w/ photos on one of my favorite Great Lakes companies ..the GBL. There twin sisters The North American and South American were fixtures on the lakes till the mid 1960’s .. the GBL also operated the Alabama in the 40’s .. and used her as a parts ship for the other 2 boats until their demise. Once of my biggest regrets was not making time to visit the South American in the early 1990’s before she was finally scrapped.
