East of Suez - Liners to Australia in the 1950s and 1960s (Paperback)

The advent of the jet airliner all but killed the liner on the Atlantic route but the ships to Australia survived into the 1970s, not just on the liner trade but also carrying emigrants from the UK and Europe to Australia. Many a ten-pound-pom was carried on the ships of Orient, P&O, British India and the foreign vessels of Sitmar, the Greek and Chandris Lines, as well as Italian ships too. Bill Miller and and Tim Noble tell the story of the liners that travelled East of Suez. Ships such as Canberra, Orsova, Oriana, Britannis, Ellinis and Michelangelo are all included in the rare and unseen images.
