SS Pasteur/TS Bremen (Classic Liners)

I was hoping this book would have a lot of stories from past passengers, pictures etc. Not what it has. All you get is a bunch of photos most which look as if they were taken during the same trip or visit.I wanted to really see what this ship was like to travel on and this book doesn't really give you any good information, photos or stories. Better to look up the vessel on the internet and youtube.Save your money

Overall, this is a fine history of an overlooked ship. The text is informative and the color photos interesting. I would like to have seen more interior photos instead of renderings and additional info on her final years.One real gripe is that the author gets gross tonnage mixed up with weight. Gross Tonnage measures the enclosed space of a ship. Displacement is weight.

Excellent story of a beautiful French ship. I had an older relative was on board her as "Pastuer" and a troopship. i've been on board her on a few occasions as "Bremen". A great liner. Book well done.

An interesting volume about a little-know liner.

Very informative, I would have prefered more interior pictures.

Love the ship, love the book. I think the author loves her, too

Overall, congratulations are due to Mr Britton on his excellent biography of the Pasteur / Bremen. The book is very well written and the abundant photos and graphics are excellent. My pet peeve with many ocean liner books is a lack of a detailed deck plan and as we see a scan of a deck plan cover among the graphics, we know that Mr. Britton had one available. It would have been a great addition and could have easily taken the place of some fairly repetitious photos. My only other critique would be that the short Chandris period deserved a bit more detail. What were her itineraries in those two years? An additional photo or two and sample menus or programs would have improved this very short chapter and made for a better comparison to her former life. . Overall, I am delighted to add this book to my ocean liner library. I also have to add kudos to History Press for producing ocean liner books of much higher quality than their competitor Amberly.

Excellent book as always from Andrew Britton

Lots of details, good pictures.
