This new paperback edition is updated with events over the last 5 years
since the 175th anniversary hardback was produced, and includes many
colorful new photos. On July 4, 2020, the Cunard Line turned 180. It is
without question the most famous transatlantic shipping company and much
beloved on both sides of the Atlantic. Throughout its history Cunard has
been instrumental in creating the American dream, transporting millions
of immigrants to the new world. During both world wars, the Cunard ships
answered the call of duty and transported thousands of troops to fight
on the sides of the allies. After the Great Depression, Cunard merged
with the famous White Star Line to form Cunard-White Star, and the
enduring history of this great shipping line has carried on into the
21st century, with the three current Queens celebrating Cunard's
heritage.
