Trans Atlantic Passenger Ships Past And Present PDF Download

Excerpt from Trans-Atlantic Passenger Ships: Past and Present He acknowledges with gratitude the assistance rendered by Mr. Stephen Gmelin and Mr. Grant S. Taylor in the matter of supplying some of the exact dates upon which certain ves sels were scrapped. This phase of the compilation required much laborious research. In fact, it has convinced me that it is almost impossible to obtain in full the necessary data regarding the final disposition of every transatlantic ship. Included in these expressions of appreciation must be also those addressed to Mr. Fred C. Poyser of the Nautical Photo Agency in England for the generous permission given for the use of reproductions of ship photographs. It was early in 1930 that I first contacted Mr. Poyser via transatlantic cor respondence. Since that time I have been indebted to him for many admirable pictures, and the correspondence we carried on through the years has been instrumental in keeping alive my keen interest in ships and shipping.
