"Here, for the first time, is the full story in word and picture of a truly remarkable ship, the Empress of Britain." She served as a luxury liner in the 1930s, and then was converted to military use during World War II. "But everything came to an abrupt end on October 26, 1940/ A German plane bombed the Empress of Britain, then two days later torpedoes from a U-boat mortally wouned her. She became the largest Allied ship to be sunk on the high seas during the war." (dj).
If you love steamships from the golden era of ship travel, you'll love this excellent book about a grand ship with too short a life. Excellent narrative, pictures and even deck plans. This ship sailed from Southampton to Quebec for the P&O Lines - but also was famous for their around-the-world cruises - when a cruise was more than an 8 hour stop to a port with only enough time to shop! Them's were the days!
