Navi passeggeri - Francia: libri illustrati - storia e compagnie di navigazione

Great French Passenger Ships

France produced some of the finest and best-decorated passenger ships of the twentieth century. Beginning in 1912 with the four-funnel France, the nostalgic voyage continues with the great and grand transatlantic liners of the French Line, the CGT. These include the famous Île-de-France, Normandie and Liberté, as well as the lesser passenger ships of the French Line.

In addition, focus is given to Compagnie de Navigation Sud-Atlantique, Transports Maritimes and Chargeurs Réunis operating important South American routes and to Messageries Maritimes running in Africa, the East and the South Pacific.

Packed full of nostalgic reminiscence of great ship days gone by, the book explores majestic liners, mail boats to Africa and colonial steamers to Saigon. Presenting many previously unpublished images alongside insightful text and anecdotes, William H. Miller brings the reader on board France's greatest transatlantic liners.

Une ligne mythique: Paquebots français et britanniques sur l'Atlantique Nord entre 1890 et 1940

This book focuses on studying three major shipping lines: the British White Star Line and Cunard Line, and the French Compagnie Générale Transatlantique.
Organized around several major themes, discover how each of these companies established ties with their government, how they approached the race for size and speed, and how they faced the challenges of security in the face of the terrible tragedies that were unfolding on this dangerous ocean.

From the Titanic to the Normandy, an entire transatlantic society is outlined here, both isolated from the terrestrial world and yet its extension. Because between 1890 and 1940, these two "golden ages" of ocean liner travel separated by a world war are also a reflection of the developments and ruptures of their time.
