Going Somewhere

"Going Somewhere; How to Travel by Land and Sea" is a comprehensive and practical guide to the art of movement during the vibrant interwar period. Written by A. Frederick Collins, this work serves as an essential manual for the early twentieth-century traveler, detailing the mechanics and logistics of global journeys before the era of commercial aviation.

The book explores the various modes of transit available at the time, providing in-depth information on everything from the nuances of rail travel and automotive touring to the sophisticated world of transoceanic steamships. Collins provides readers with functional advice on planning itineraries, managing baggage, and navigating the social expectations of travel. By bridging the gap between technical instruction and tourism advice, the work offers a unique perspective on how the modern world began to shrink as transportation networks expanded across continents and oceans.

Focusing on both the practicalities of the trip and the thrill of the destination, "Going Somewhere; How to Travel by Land and Sea" captures the spirit of adventure that defined the 1920s. It stands as a valuable historical resource for those interested in the evolution of transport, the history of tourism, and the social history of mobility in the early modern age.
