From  the  mid-1890s  a  race  was  on  between  the  merchant  navies  of  the  recently  unified  Germany,  Britain  and  France.  That  race  was  to  make  the  most  luxurious  and  fastest  ocean  liners  and  it  started  with  the  Kaiser  Wilhelm  der  Grosse,  the  first  of  fourteen  four-stackers  built  between  1897  and  1921.  The  large  vessels  that  followed  each  tried  to  outdo  the  previous  one  in  terms  of  size  and  interior  design.  Using  many  of  the  most  famous  of  interior  ,  every  part  of  the  new  ships  was  'designed',  from  the  cutlery  to  the  china,  from  the  furniture  to  the  paneling,  and  from  the  bedrooms  to  the  boat  decks.  Through  Kronprinzessin  Cecilie,  Mauretania,  Aquitania,  Olympic,  Titanic,  Imperator,  Vaterland,  Ile  de  France,  and  Paris,  the  development  and  design  of  the  ships  grew  grander  and  more  luxurious.  The  process  continued  into  the  1930s,  with  the  Empress  of  Britain  and  the  fabulously  Art  Deco  Normandie,  the  finest  and  most  expensive  liner  ever  built,  and  designed  to  be  a  showcase  for  all  that  was  France,  as  well  as  with  the  Queen  Mary,  a  rather  more  traditional  vessel,  but  one,  ,  which  pushed  the  boundaries  of  design  away  from  the  traditional  country  house  look  of  the  Edwardian  era.  Each  new  vessel  brought  with  it  the  finest  of  interiors,  from  the  plush  and  palatial  to  the  modern  look  of  the  time.  Even  today,  the  influence  of  these  floating    can  still  be  seen  in  vessels  such  as  Cunard's  Queen  Mary  2  and  the  multitude  of  new  cruise  vessels,  all  vying  for  the  public's  interest  and  affection.  The  large  liners  were  truly  floating  palaces,  and  here,  William  H.  Miller  brings  together  a  collection  of  fabulous  images  of  the  finest  ships  ever  built,  showcasing  the  style  and  elegance  of  a  time  when  'getting  there  was  half  the  fun'.
