Merchant Ships of the World in Color, 1910-1929

"Merchant Ships of the World in Color 1910-1929" is part of a series by Laurence Dunn presenting a pictorial survey of the merchant ship. The period covered by this volume was one of spectacular development and dramatic contrast. The First World War brought to an end a period of intense competition – competition reflected in a rapid increase in the size of individual liners. Later, during the twenties, a more restrained style emerged, less lavishly appointed and more suited to a less-affluent world. The styles of these two eras, separated by the anonymous, camouflage-conscious years of the war, were quite distinct, the post-war years bringing a range of new shapes and profiles in funnels and sterns.
