Key Details About the Book
Features: It contains an introduction by George Blake and extensive black-and-white plates captured by renowned maritime photographer Stuart Bale.
Historical Significance: This specialized version was issued around the time of the ship's historic maiden voyage in May 1936. It was originally sold on board the superliner within the ship's own W.H. Smith shop located on the Promenade Deck.
Design: It features a deep blue cover with a distinctive gold-foil embossed title and an elegant line-art illustration of the liner cutting through the water.
Collectibility and Care: Because of its limited production compared to the standard paper-covered board editions, this leather-bound variant is a highly sought-after piece of ocean liner memorabilia.
