OCEAN LINERS PLAYING CARDS celebrating the great passenger ships that connected continents before commercial air travel took over the skies. From Titanic and Lusitania to Queen Mary and Normandie, these vast ships combined engineering ambition with fierce competition for speed, scale and luxury.
The great transatlantic liners were floating showcases for contemporary design. Art Deco interiors, grand dining rooms and sweeping promenades carried passengers between Europe and America, while shipping companies competed for prestige and the coveted Blue Riband for the fastest Atlantic crossing.
Historic photographs, advertising posters and illustrations chart both the ships and the golden age of ocean travel they came to represent, including celebrated vessels and the disasters that became part of maritime history.
Carefully curated and richly printed, these Ocean Liners Playing Cards bring together historic ships and vintage travel imagery in a distinctive collectors’ deck. An excellent gift for enthusiasts of maritime history, ocean liners and classic travel.
