A hard to find book on important but lesser known shipping routes
The most famous ocean liners were those that plied the North Atlantic routes.  These ships were designed for fast year round crossings on  routes that could cold, rough and stormy .    But there were many other important routes from Europe and America that sailed calm  blue seas to or through the tropics.  Ships for these routes were designed differently with open promenades, more deck space, often with swimming pools and outdoor sports areas.   Often longer voyages, these routes required such conveniences as accessible baggage rooms for clothes for different climates en route.
Published in 1986, this 224 page hard cover book tells the tales of over 40 shipping lines that sailed on the "Blue Water" routes   They have mostly vanished now and this book offers an appendix with a complete fleet list and specifications for these liners. There are many dozens of black and white photos throughout the book.
Condition is very good for its age with clean pages and a strong spine.  Please ask any and all questions before bidding.  I cannot be responsible for an item once it has been given over to the post office.
