Gabriele Cadringher was born in Varese, Italy.During some years spent in the port city of Genoa, Gabriele discovered the magnificent ocean liners voyaging from Europe to America, actually near the end of the era of the large ships which had been, for many years, the only way to cross the seas and the oceans from one continent to another.

She started to collect and restore memorabilia and furniture from the main ocean liners (Normandie , Queen Mary, Ile de France, Berengaria, etc) and put together one of the largest collection of original posters from the maritime companies. This book has allowed Gabriele to share these great images, and spread knowledge and awareness of the significance of this unique era, complete with its art and memorabilia.
