The story of the great and beautiful ships, built for speed and comfort, that regularly plied between Europe and America on the North Atlantic route. It is the story of a line in ship design that runs from Brunel's Great Eastern through the early Cunarders and the might German ships of the late nineteenth century, to the Queen Mary, the Queen Elizabeth, the Normandie, the United States and, finally the QE2.
