This unique two-hundred-year retrospective takes us from the liner's origins in mail services to its role as nineteenth-century mass transportation, in wartime and in immigration to the New World, and finally to its modern renaissance in the \u003ci\u003eQueen Mary 2\u003c\/i\u003e, the first liner to be built in thirty years. With cruising now a major tourist industry, this new liner has emerged with a clear stylistic lineage from some of the most illustrious vessels of the past.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAlong with the design and construction of established favorites and lesser-known ships, The Liner explores the human story of the engineers, builders, crew, and passengers. Illustrated throughout with photographs, artworks, and plans, some specially commissioned, this is an essential work for all liner enthusiasts, maritime historians, and anyone who has sailed aboard these fine vessels.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nForeword By Stephen Payne, OBE, Chief Naval Architect Of \u003ci\u003eQueen Mary 2\u003c\/i\u003e.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhilip Dawson\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eCruise Ships: An Evolution in Design\u003c\/i\u003e and coauthor of \u003ci\u003eConway’s History of Seafaring in the Twentieth Century\u003c\/i\u003e, among others.
