Father Frank Browne became famous in the wake of the Titanic disaster when his photographs, the only ones of the ship in sail, were used by newspapers all over the world to illustrate articles about the sinking. This volume reproduces these images, and photographs of other great ships of the period. Separated into sections such as working, entertainment and travellers, this is a collection by a photographer, who, without knowing it, captured for posterity a form of travel and a way of living which had disappeared by the second half of the 20th century.
