Port Line : incorporating James P Corry & Co, Thomas B Royden & Co, Wm. Milburn & Co, G D Tyser & Co, The Commonwealth and Dominion Line Ltd In 1914, James P Corry & Co, Thomas B Royden & Co, William Milburn & Co and G D Tyser & Co, which were all engaged in trade with New Zealand and Australia, combined to form the Commonwealth & Dominion Line. Acquired by Cunard in 1916, the Line was renamed as the Port Line in 1937. In 1967, facing competition from containerisation and air travel, the Blue Star and Port Line fleets were combined under the management of Blue Star Port Lines (Management). The arrangement was terminated in 1973, marking the end of Port Line as an operational shipping company. Histories and fleet lists are provided for the Commonwealth & Dominion and Port Lines and each of the predecessor companies. Appendices cover the operations of the Montreal Australia New Zealand (MANZ) Line, the loss of HMS Port Napier, ship machinery and refrigeration, alterations and losses incurred as a result of the Second World War.

Cunard Line : a fleet history /Peter Newall. "Cunard Line is the most famous shipping company in the world and this is the first comprehensive history of Cunard and its ships. The focus is not just on the transatlantic passenger liners, although they get their fair share of exposure. Covered in similar depth are the intermediate passenger ships, Mediterranean traders, the surprisingly large fleet of pure cargo ships, Cunards contribution to the Atlantic Container Line, reefers, cruise ships, the bulkers of Cunard-Brocklebank, the Moss tankers plus tugs and tenders. There is also an impressive fleet of wartime managed ships, including some famous foreign liners. Coasters and other ships chartered for Channel Islands and Great Lakes services are also mentioned. The individual histories of 310 ships from Unicorn in 1840 to the current Queen Elizabeth are featured, reflecting the latest standards of research with details from registration papers and other sources. There are over 700 illustrations, many of which have never been published before, including many in colour. Great care has been taken with the layout of the book so that it is easy to follow, individual chapters telling the story of the ships employed in each aspect of the companies operations. The front cover has a specially-commissioned painting of the original Queen Elizabeth by the renowned marine artist Stephen Card. None of the many other books on Cunard presents such a comprehensive picture of its activities, and we believe this book will come to be regarded as the definitive fleet history of this famous company and its many ships."--From publisher. 2012 • FOLIO • 2 copies available. 347.792CUNARD
