Summary:

"This is the first book to discuss twentieth-century merchant ship design in broad relation to developments in contemporary architecture and design. Uniquely, it also includes extensive discussion of cargo vessels, whereas writers have usually concentrated on passenger liners of various kinds. It also considers the role that the sea and ships play in twentieth-century culture, and examines the iconography of the ship in contemporary society, especially in the context of the growth in popularity of holiday cruising."--Jacket
