Industry Reviews

There are [...] great images for the modeler and the historian alike of a ship that looked like a liner should. * Editor - Model Boat World 29/04/2019 *
An interesting collection which must summarise years of hunting down exhibits specific to this particular ship; a pleasant souvenir of a bygone age. * Army Rumour Service *
The postcards selected are remarkably clear. They evoke the era beautifully and clearly show the ship's quite unusual bridge arrangement. * Baird Maritime 02/07/2019 *
