Samenvatting

Cunard Line is the most famous shipping company in the world and this is the first comprehensive history of Cunard and its ships. The focus is not just on the transatlantic passenger liners, although they get their fair share of exposure. Covered in similar depth are the intermediate passenger ships, Mediterranean traders, the surprisingly large fleet of pure cargo ships, Cunards contribution to the Atlantic Container Line, reefers, cruise ships, the bulkers of Cunard-Brocklebank, the Moss tankers plus tugs and tenders. There is also an impressive fleet of wartime managed ships, including some famous foreign liners. Coasters and other ships chartered for Channel Islands and Great Lakes services are also mentioned. The individual histories of 310 ships from Unicorn in 1840 to the current Queen Elizabeth are featured, reflecting the latest standards of research with details from registration papers and other sources. There are over 700 illustrations, many of which have never been published before, including many in colour. Great care has been taken with the layout of the book so that it is easy to follow, individual chapters telling the story of the ships employed in each aspect of the companys operations. The front cover has a specially-commissioned painting of the original Queen Elizabeth by the renowned marine artist Stephen Card. None of the many other books on Cunard presents such a comprehensive picture of its activities, and we believe this book will come to be regarded as the definitive fleet history of this famous company and its many ships.

Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews? Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews?

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
