Die berühmtesten Schiffe des 20. Jahrhunderts
Wer denkt bei Schiffen nicht an Freiheit und Abenteuer, Moby Dick und die Schatzinsel, Titanic und Fluch der Karibik? Seit jeher waren Schiffe wichtige Transportmittel. Sie ermöglichten die Entdeckung fremder Kontinente sowie den Kultur- und Warentransfer zwischen den Völkern. Diese enge Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Schiff führte zu imponierenden Höchstleistungen im Schiffbau.
Dieser Band von Hans Karr versammelt die berühmtesten Schiffe des 20. Jahrhunderts und beschreibt ihre technischen Besonderheiten. Anekdoten aus den oft "spektakulären" Lebensläufen der Schiffe runden die Portraits unterhaltsam ab.
The growth of the ocean liner was driven not only by political and social changes, and developments in marine technology and design but also by increased competition as new companies were established to meet the demands of travellers. The story starts in the ninetheenth century with the greatest migration ever seen. Communications around the world were also rapidly improving with the introduction of railways, the opening of the Suez Canal, a universal postal system and, most importantly, the laying of undersea telegraph cables.
Tourism as we know it took off in the 1870s and 1880s. This was also a time of colonial expansion which would see Britain and other countries establishing empires around the world. To meet the demand, passenger ships became increasingly important with great advances being made not only in ship design but also marine engineering. These technological innovations soon included the introduction not only of the turbine but also diesel engines. Ocean liners also became statements of national pride and artistic achievements.
The story concludes in the 1960s when, despite increasing numbers of travellers choosing to fly rather than travel by sea, a final flurry of liners were built, many of which had shorter lives than planned. The unique text is supported by over 250 carefully chosen photographs, many of which have never been seen before. A truly unique and evocative book for merchant ship enthusiasts and historians.
The iconic ocean liner, with its towering dark hull and brilliant white superstructure, remains a powerful symbol of human endeavor. This unique two-hundred-year retrospective takes us from the liner's origins in mail services to its role as nineteenth-century mass transportation, in wartime and in immigration to the New World, and finally to its modern renaissance in the Queen Mary 2, the first liner to be built in thirty years. With cruising now a major tourist industry, this new liner has emerged with a clear stylistic lineage from some of the most illustrious vessels of the past.
Along with the design and construction of established favorites and lesser-known ships, The Liner explores the human story of the engineers, builders, crew, and passengers. Illustrated throughout with photographs, artworks, and plans, some specially commissioned, this is an essential work for all liner enthusiasts, maritime historians, and anyone who has sailed aboard these fine vessels.
Nordatlantikrenner - Legendäre Schnelldampfer im Wettlauf ums Blaue Band
Das Blaue Band war eine symbolische Trophäe für die schnellste Nord-Atlantik-Überquerung eines Passagierschiffes. Immer schnellere, größere und luxuriösere Passagierschiffe fuhren mit einem zahlungskräftigen Publikum von Kontinent zu Kontinent. Die teilnehmenden Schnelldampfer und Luxusschiffe erreichten dabei zum Teil legendäre Berühmtheit.
Mit ihnen beschäftigt sich dieses Buch: Es versammelt die bekanntesten Schnelldampfer von 1888-1951. Jedes Schiff wird anhand seiner Besonderheiten und Anekdoten aus seinem "Lebenslauf" sowie zahlreicher Abbildungen und den wichtigsten technischen Neuerungen unterhaltsam porträtiert.
