Tourist Third Cabin by Lorraine Coons
This work offer an intimate glimpse of the microcosm of the changing world that was the luxury liner. From crew members to passengers, ship decor to technological innovation, through labour unrest and political upheaval, we see the social world and the business of travel as it began.
'Well written..and sprinkled with relevant quotes...' - Alison Hopkins, Library Journal 'The authors have done a good job of relating this industry's history to a broader literature on female labour, art, history of architecture, even archeological finds, and to the broader context of the time. The breadth of issues discussed and materials and sources consulted testifies to the widespread interest in these ships at the time, and why such a history should still be appealing today.' - Thomas Weiss, Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change
LORRAINE COONS and ALEXANDER VARIAS are historians specializing in the early 20th century. They travel extensively, giving historical and cultural lectures aboard the QE2 and other ocean liners.
