Item description from seller

Demy table, [20cm/8inches], paperbound with pictorial covers, pp. 212. Indexed. Fully illustrated with b-w halftones, colour plates. Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs. . The Blue Riband is an unofficial accolade given to the passenger liner crossing the Atlantic Ocean in regular service with the record highest speed. The term was borrowed from horse racing and was not widely used until after 1910. Traditionally, the record is based on average speed rather than passage time because ships follow different routes. Also, eastbound and westbound speed records are reckoned separately, as the more difficult westbound record voyage, against the Gulf Stream and the prevailing weather systems, typically results in lower average speeds even in the same ship. In exceptionally good condition.
