Subtitle: every passenger lost in world wars I and IIAuthor: williams d.Publisher: patrick stephens limited (psl)ISBN: 9781852605650

During the First and Second World Wars more than 500 passenger ships of many nationalities were lost, resulting in the depths of some 50000 people. A large number were sunk following torpedo strikes, while others were hit by surface shellfire or aerial bombardment or were scuttled. Here (dramatically illsutrated and presented for the first time in one volume) are details of every deep-sea passenger carrying vessel engaged either in regular commercial service or in temporary auxiliary duties to have been lost during those conflicts.

Edition: 1997
