About this title

Synopsis

A nostalgic look at the cargo liners and tramp ships that once dominated the oceans.

In the post-war era, ocean travel wasn't just for the glamorous liners; smaller cargo liners offered a comfortable, intimate alternative. These ships, though less known, played a vital role in maritime transport. This collection of photographs and postcards, acquired from major British, European, Asian, and American shipping companies between 1961 and 1965, offers a glimpse into a bygone era of marketing and public relations.

Mark Lee Inman presents a curated selection of these interesting pictures and postcards, preserving the memory of an age that has been transformed by air travel and the rise of the fast container ship. A must-have for maritime history enthusiasts and ship spotters!

About the Author

Mark Lee Inman spent his childhood and teenage years in south Wales, able to watch the movements of ships in and out of Swansea docks. Thus the passion for ships and photographing developed. Later he read geography at Queen Mary College, University of London. This proximity to London’s docks made it an ideal location to continue and develop his passion for ships.
