{"product_id":"sailing-to-the-sun-william-miller-9781781557037","title":"Sailing to the Sun: Cruising History and Evolution","description":"The worldwide cruise industry is booming--alone, there are some 56 new cruise ships being built or planned (2016). Cruise ships visit ports around the world. And the ships themselves are amenity-filled, moving resorts. But when did it all begin? This book looks at the evolution of cruising, from the mid-nineteenth century. It chronicles the growth of long, luxury cruising in the Twenties and then, in the Depression-era Thirties, cruising reaches the general public as a form of escape. By the late Sixties, purposeful cruise ships were being built and these spawned today's fleet, including the largest passenger ships ever built.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1781557039\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781557037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fonthill Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 9.80w x 0.30d","brand":"William Miller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447977849087,"sku":"9781781557037","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b40b58ad-64fa-4a96-89a3-6f58e4b9de82.jpg?v=1777236084","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sailing-to-the-sun-william-miller-9781781557037","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
