""Ocean Liners of the Twentieth Century"" by Gordon R. Newell is a comprehensive book that explores the history of the iconic ocean liners that dominated the seas during the 1900s.

He also examines the cultural and social impact of ocean liners, including their role in transporting immigrants, soldiers, and celebrities. The book includes stunning photographs and illustrations, as well as detailed information about the most famous ocean liners of the time, such as the Titanic, the Queen Mary, and the Normandie.
