Excerpt from the Preface
In the following pages, I have gathered all such material about the most prominent steamship companies on the Atlantic Ferry today and those that have been there for some time. Some Lines have diverse services to other oceans, seas, and continents.
My foremost interest was to include the better-known steamship company of each maritime nation in the Western Hemisphere. In total, thirteen of these Lines fly the national flags of their homeland, and the last of the Lines, the Panamanian ensign, owing to the once numerous interests in the company and also for keen tax purposes.
I included this previous Line as a type of international firm whose founders were of Greek, Swedish, Italian, and American origin. The lore for the sea and ships has prompted me to choose not only the ships of my choice and liking but to combine the greater number of all these liners in an unbiased, factual publication of, hopefully, everybody's favorite ships.
Each ship is illustrated with an original photograph to help the reader grasp the full beauty of these inspiring ladies, from the great leviathans and express greyhounds to the intermediate and cargo-type passenger ships.
