Description
P&O Ferries: A Maritime History In the late 1960s, P&O embarked on a significant expansion of its ferry services in the North Sea and English Channel. This marked the beginning of a period of growth, investment, and transformation for the company. As the industry evolved, so did P&O, introducing new technologies such as roll-on/roll-off operations and containerisation. Throughout the 20th century, P&O faced challenges from increased competition, including low-cost airlines and the Channel Tunnel. Despite this, the company maintained a loyal customer base and became one of the most recognisable names on the sea. This book tells the story of P&O's history, using a selection of rare and previously unpublished images to bring the narrative to life. Maritime historian Ian Collard explores the story of this iconic company and its ships, providing a detailed account of P&O's rise and fall in the ferry industry.
