About this product
Product Information
An epic social history of steamship travel from the 19th-century to the 'Lusitania', the 'Mauretania' and the 'Titanic'. The great transatlantic steamships became emblems of an age, of a Victorian audacity of spirit-cathedrals to man's harnessing of new technology. Through the innovations and designs of key engineers and shipping magnates - Samuel Cunard, Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Edward Knights Collins - 'the largest movable objects in human history' were created. To the wealthy, steamships represented glamorous travel, but to most they offered cheap passage out of Europe to the New World. At their peak, steamships delivered one million new Americans each year, transforming the world's oceans from barriers into highways. In this fascinating history, Stephen Fox chronicles the tragedies that marked the evolution of the ocean liner, including the 1852 sinking of the 'Arctic', with the loss of three hundred and twenty-two lives, and the early 20th-century losses of the 'Lusitania' and the 'Titanic'. Using contemporary records, diaries and writing, he penetrates the experience of transatlantic passage and examines the societies created on the vast floating cities, 'a kind of third human environment, neither land nor sea but partaking of each, and bridging them in unprecedented ways'.

Beck - set 5 DVD region 1 US import took a bit longer to arrive than normal. But was well packed and a great price, including delivery, which was further enhanced by ebay's 15% Spring discount offer. Very good condition as described. Although one disc needed cleaning to make it play better. Recommended seller!

Arrived early in great condition. Price was below average as was the shipping fee. My only issue was that the seller did not respond to my questions before I made the purchase and although I probably still would have made the purchase, it wasn’t exactly what I had hoped it was which I would have known ahead of time should I have received a reply and on hindsight, my question a tad silly anyway. Overall I am content and would buy from this seller again.
