Hardback. Condition: New. The rich history of the PandO Line began in the 1830s when steam power was still in its infancy, and this, coupled with longer voyages, meant that shipwrecks became inevitable - all part of the risk of running a pioneer shipping company at that time. Shipwrecks of the PandO Line explores these losses, starting with the inaugural mail service sailing of the wooden paddle steamer Don Juan, which ran aground in fog in 1837, and ending 120 years later with the cargo liner Shillong (2), which sank following a collision in the Red Sea in 1957. Sam Warwick and Mike Roussel include a detailed history of each vessel leading up to the time of its loss and meticulously investigate the events surrounding the wrecking of each vessel, with exclusive accounts from divers who have explored the wreck, along with striking underwater images. Complete with practical data for divers, this unique history offers a fresh analysis of maritime history, of interest to maritime history enthusiasts as well as the many who have taken up diving as a leisure sport.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. When the Queen Elizabeth 2 entered service in 1969 she was the last of the great transatlantic liners and the sole survivor of a bygone era. The modern ship was 963 feet long, 70,000 gross tons, and boasted a service speed exceeding 30 knots. QE2 made an instant impact worldwide and went on to have an illustrious career spanning four decades. This long-awaited new edition presents the colourful history of the Cunard Line and an engrossing narrative of the ship's eventful history, including construction and launch, service in the Falklands war, various mishaps, the sale of Cunard to Carnival, and the introduction of the new flagship Queen Mary 2. Also covered is the ship's final decade, leading up to her eventual sale to become a floating hotel in Dubai. The story ends with a personal afterword by Commodore Ronald Warwick, recounting his long and unique association with the vessel. AUTHOR: Sam Warwick first learned to dive with the British Sub-Aqua Club in the early 1990s and is a certified diving instructor and technical diver. Sam has logged over 1,000 dives around the world and is passionate about exploring and researching shipwrecks. Sam has always had a personal interest in Cunard history due to family connections with the line, since both his father and grandfather were Cunard Line Commodores. These combined diving and Cunard interests led to the publication of 'Shipwrecks of the Cunard Line' (2012) with co-author Mike Roussel. This was followed by 'The Union-Castle Line - Sailing Like Clockwork' (2015) and 'Shipwrecks of the P&O Line' (2017). 156 colour and 63 b/w images New edition of a classic, much-sought-after work by the ex-QE2 master, Commodore R.W. Warwick Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
