ORIGINS ORIENT AND ORIANA
Published by Teredo Books. 1st. 1980
Very good condition in a very good dustwrapper. Seen within the perspective of the development of the ship from earliest times, this is the history of the Orient Line, one of the most notable passenger liner companies, from its sailing ships through its century of passenger steamships in all its aspects, including the story of the families who guided its fortunes and, finally, all the problems - likely and unlikely - of the design and building of the very last of the great liners seen, unusually, through the eyes of the Company's Chief Naval Architect. Blue cloth with gilt title to spine and ship vignette to front cover. B/w photos.
Some browning to cover edges. Marks to outer page edges. Wrapper is edge-creased, with a few nicks.
