Synopsis
The Orient Line was once one of the most recognised names operating on the route between Great Britain and Australia, forming an important connection between the many peoples of the Empire. The great vessels of Orient Line included Oronsay, Orsova, Orcades and Oriana. Despite being formed with no mail subsidy and a dominant competitor in P&O, the Orient Line endured. It survived two world wars, the Great Depression and stormy seas – carrying everything from mail to royalty, troops to tourists.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Orient Line's beginnings can be traced back to 1797. Created for the purpose of operating a fleet of steamships between London and the Australian Colonies, it was a venture into the unknown, its success testament to the acumen of its founders, two of London's oldest shipping firms, Anderson, Anderson & Co., and F. Green & Co. They had extensive shipping interests from the West Indies to South America and the Pacific Coast and owned and operated a fleet of famous clipper ships on the Australian wool trade, when their fleet would bring out emigrants to the colony and sail back laden with prime fleece. Cruise ships today owe a great legacy to the pioneering work done by the Orient Line when it developed and perfected seasonal cruising in 1889 from British ports. AUTHORS: Chris Frame and Rachelle Cross are the coauthors of 175 Years of Cunard and The Evolution of the Transatlantic Liner. Robert Henderson and Doug Cremer are the coauthors of A Photographic History of P&O Cruises. 215 b/w illustrations Stunning photographic history of the Orient Line that ran from London to Australia the Australian Line Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
