Passenger Liners from Germany, 1816-1990

Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, German passenger liners carried their cargoes throughout the European waterways and transported millions of emigrants to New York to find places of opportunity in America. This book covers the development of these ships from paddle steamers on rivers and lakes to the great car ferries and "dream ships" of our time. Hansen weaves the fascinating development of this huge industry with over 300 photographs, many of them in color and never before published.Hansen, Clas B. is the author of 'Passenger Liners from Germany, 1816-1990' with ISBN 9780887403255 and ISBN 0887403255.
