Grande Dame: Holland America Line and the S.S. Rotterdam

Stephen Payne takes you through the tail of Rotterdam (the 1960s version) and the thinking behind her design and the innovations within. Whilst Canberra is perhaps more famous for her twin stacks, Rotterdam was just as innovative. The book is written by a leading naval architect and perhaps inspired some of his thinking behind the Queen Mary 2. Accompanying the text are superb photos and some history of Holland America Line. An unmissable treat for those with an interest in more than a picture book about this superb ship.
