Maritime History Books
When I was growing up, easy to read books about ocean liners helped shape my understanding of the significance of these great ships.
Both Rachelle Cross and I think it’s important to make maritime history accessible, interesting and understandable. Our books are written with this in mind, with an aim of keeping the narrative punchy and entertaining. If you’ve read our books and want to provide feedback, get in touch.
