Hardback. Condition: Very Good. In 'Vers Une Architecture', published in the mid 1920s, Le Corbusier wrote about the inspiring qualities of the external design forms of Cunard's Aquitania. Since then nautical design inspired a great deal of innovative architecture on terra firma. Simultaneously, the 1925 Exposition des Arts Decoratifs made a broad range of eclectic modern styles fashionable - particularly in the commerical world, whereas Modernism with a capital M, already the design aesthetic of the pre-Stalinist Soviet Union, was associated with social reform, internationalism and a Marxist ideology. In passenger ship design, however, the picture was complicated by a variety of factors. According to Orwell, ships were seen to represent utopian visions of future paradises - and so represented the ideals of Modernism perhaps more effectively than any structure on dry land ever could. On the other hand they were equally powerful statements of imperialism and of commercial pride. This book will examine the development of the Modern Movement in passenger ship architecture in the twentieth century, ranging from small excursion vessels to liners, cruise ships, ferries, and, where necessary, freight vessels.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Using original material from the P&O archives and drawing on personal collections, this book explores the part "Canberra" has played in history since the early stages of planning in the 1950s through to her forthcoming retirement. The withdrawal of "Canberra", P&O's most famous cruise liner, will take place in September 1997. "Canberra" was built in 1961 as a liner working the route from Southampton to Sydney, taking tourists between the continents and those on the assisted-passage scheme to new lives in Australia. Alongside her regular career as a holiday home for the thousands who cruise in her every year, highlights of her service life include working as a troop ship and prisoner-of-war vessel during the Falklands conflict of 1982 and taking on a major role in the D-Day Remembrance Service in 1994. "Canberra" was also at the forefront of cruise liner design, with particular impact on the design of the new "Oriana". This volume discusses her importance to maritime architecture, alongside her place in the heart of the nation. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
