Chris Frame - Cruise History

The Evolution of the Passenger Ship book is the new book. 



The book is our 17th and a long term project that was inspired by a popular lecture I present on the cruise ships and at maritime museums. 



1/ the origins of the passenger ship has ancient historical connections



2/ sail ruled the waves for centuries and it was abysmal for travelers. 



3/ steam brought great promise in the 1830s



4/ Regular steam services changes everything - reliability, safety etc. 



5/ shipping learns from maritime disasters. Eg: titanic, Lusitania. 



6/ jet age and containers kills passenger ships as they were - but cruising takes things to a new era!
