From luxury liners to warships and iconic sailing ships, author Dominique Krauskopf takes us into the fascinating world of these iconic vessels.
Queen Elizabeth II, France, Royal Clipper... So many ships to dream about. Some of the ships that made history were military vessels, ocean liners, tall ships, school ships or expeditions. We discover with wonder and a lot of nostalgia, these legends around more than two hundred photographs: from the Belem at Pen-Duick, from the Queen Mary at Titanic.
But what happened to the Normandie liner, the warship The Hermione, the three-masted schooner Endurance ; Fram, the luxurious Steam Ship Sudan, Eagle, formerly known as Horst Wessel? Designed by man to sail the seas of the world, these vessels fascinate all those who long for the open sea.
Today historic monuments, nicknamed "Cathedrals of the oceans", these ships travel from port to port to meet the public at international maritime events, or welcome on board trainees, adventurers and scientists. The book "The most beautiful boats in the world" takes us on a cultural journey through time to the four corners of the globe.
Traveller and reporter Dominique Krauskopf tells the story of 39 ships. "I love travelling to the rhythm of boats, and I'm passionate about transport that makes people dream"..
