Description

The Ocean Freighter Heyday: A Era of International Trade From the end of World War II to the late 1970s, the ocean freighter played a vital role in international trade. This period, known as the Ocean Freighter Heyday, saw many ships that survived the war remain in service for decades, with newly-built vessels gradually replacing them. This book explores British and north Continental European ships that served scheduled cargo liner services until the end of the 1970s. It features four sections, including views of ships at ports such as those in the UK and on the continent, as well as those underway in local rivers and waterways. A final section examines tramp ships, which played a crucial role in the era's maritime trade. By examining these vessels and their operations, this book provides a unique insight into the history of ocean freighters during a pivotal period in international trade.
