Pigott Peter Sailing Seven Seas: A History of the Canadian Pacific Line
Toronto Dundurn Press 2010 Cloth Fine Fine in Mylar Sleeve
228 pp. "Under Canadian Pacific's red-and-white-chequered flag, the company's founders, George Stephen and William C Van Horne, created a rail-sea service from Liverpool to Hong Kong. Boasting sternwheelers, Great Lakes bulk carriers, ferries, and luxurious ocean-going liner leviathans, the Canadian Pacific shipping line sailed around the globe. In both world wars the entire fleet served gallantly as Allied troop carriers. After the Second World War, the company staved off the realities of the jet age for as long as it could, replacing liners with container ships, until what was left of the legendary maritime operation was sold off in 2005." In unopened as new condition.
