The 1950s to early 1980s was the last period in which passengers sailed to get somewhere, on line voyages, before the liners turned to cruising and airlines became the principal means of travelling long distances. It was a golden age of ocean travel, even though the signs of inevitable decline were in evidence all around.
For those whoemotions and stories as diverse as the ports to which they sailed. Recorded in this 128-page volume are memories of sailing on the North Atlantic with Cunard and Holland-America, with the Italian Line in the Mediterranean, with Royal Mail Lines to South America, with Union-Castle to Africa, and with P&O-Orient to Australia and the Far East.
