	Losing the Empress : A Personal Journey The Empress of Ireland's last voyage ended on May 29, 1914, when she was rammed by a Norwegian coal-carrier in a fog patch on the St Lawrence River near Rimouski. For David Creighton, her voyage still continues. In *Losing the Empress, Creighton delves into the lives of his grandparents - Salvation Army officers who were lost on the Empress - and the lives of their five orphaned children who would soon be plunged into World War I. His discoveries reveal amazing details about the Empress, which sank in fourteen minutes with a greater loss of life than the Titanic* disaster. Shipwreck nostalgia, last voyage dinners, Salvationists, and the British Empire and the world wars fought to preserve it; everything comes into focus when the author joins Titanic discoverer Robert Ballard on a film shoot at the sunken liner's site. *Losing the Empress* lyrically traces a personal journey into the past and into the future.

	Murray Darling Paddleboats This book covers the paddleboats the author has seen and photographed along the Murray and Darling Rivers in recent years. It includes all the paddlers presently operating public cruises at numerous towns on both rivers, as well as the privately owned and operated boats that can be seen along the rivers. The information on each vessel has been gathered from numerous sources, and every effort has been taken to ensure accuracy. In many instances the owners of the vessels have been very helpful, but it has been quite difficult to find out much about a few of the boats. At present there are about twenty paddleboats under construction or undergoing restoration at various places along the Murray River. Those boats that are nearing completion are included in the main body of the book, and they should be operating within the next year. Most if not all of the others will be in active operation on the river within the next three or four years. This book is intended primarily as a brief guide to these fascinating craft for both visitors to and residents of towns along the Murray and Darling rivers.

	QE2 : Britain's Greatest Liner Three leading ship historians join forces to write the definitive history of Cunard's Queen Elizabeth 2, the world's most famous ocean liner. Beginning with an overview of the social and cultural context from which the liner emerged, the design process is followed from the earliest proposals for Q3 to the detailed design of Q4. The story continues with the John Brown shipyard successfully tendering for the construction and recounts the many challenges which beset the famous shipbuilder in the periods before, during and after QE2 was being built. Thereafter, the ship's sea trials, troubled inauguration and successful maiden voyage are described, partly through first hand accounts. The long career and the many subsequent changes carried out to the ship are then illustrated against the cultural and economic backgrounds of rapidly changing societies in Britain and the USA. QE2 has stood the test of time remarkably well -- but, since the 1980s, the liner has gradually been rebuilt from a futuristic Modernist icon into a 'retro' ship, based upon nostalgia for a lost 'golden age' of inter-war liner travel and the reasons for these changes are also explained. Bringing the story right up-to-date, the book concludes with an account of the final voyage to Dubai.

	Raincoast Chronicles 19 : Stories and History of the British Columbia Coast A Pacific Northwest publishing tradition since 1972, the 'Raincoast Chronicles' series is still a perennial favourite with its funny, fiery depiction of British Columbia's past. This latest issue includes more of what made 'Raincoast Chronicles' famous -- an eclectic and entertaining mix of stories and characters. Sheryl Salloum contributes a fascinating history of squatters in Vancouver, from the Dollarton squat that Malcolm Lowry made infamous to the Finn Slough squat on the Fraser River that still exists, 70 years later. Then there's Keith Hancock's strange-but-true story of Boat Harbour, BC's capital of the bizarre. Located between Ladysmith and Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, this small village is renowned for being the one-time home of the enigmatic cult leader Brother Twelve, and for its equally colourful later resident, 'Nick the Pirate' who had six toes and a habit of firing his personal cannon at unsuspecting trespassers. And let's not forget Peter Fletcher, a former Saturna Island lightkeeper, who tells us what it's like to have a diabolical pet crow almost destroy his marriage.

	Setting Sail : Ten Thousand Years of Seafaring Adventure Setting Sail tells the 10,000-year story of mankind's quest to cross the world's oceans. It is a remarkable saga that moves from island to island, between nations, and eventually across continents as various peoples share skills and technologies that advance their sailing skills. The book accompanies a four-part television program which is currently airing on the Discovery Channel's High Definition network. A DVD of the program is included with the purchase of this book. Author Luc Cuyvers looks first into the prehistory and the Polynesian diaspora that began before the Christian era. At a time when most sailors refused to venture beyond the sight of land, Polynesians were the first 'bluewater' adventurers, exploring the western Pacific Ocean across an area greater than twice the size of the American continent. Setting Sail considers the advances and techniques that allowed Arab Traders to pursue the first ocean going trade routes. By 750AD, Arab traders regularly sailed to India, Ceylon, and onward as far as China and Korea. Seven centuries later, new centres of exploration were stirring. The Chinese began to travel on voyages of discovery and Portugal's Prince Henry the Navigator sponsored the first of many voyages that would change Europe's understanding of the maritime world. The story Setting Sail tells is fascinating and visually exciting. The text is supplemented with more than 100 colour photographs of places, people, and ships that illustrate the story of ocean exploration.

	Ships of Wood and Men of Iron : A Norwegian-Canadian Saga of Exploration in the High Arctic Over 100 years ago, in June 1898, Captain Otto Sverdrup and 15 crewmen put out to sea aboard the schooner Fram from the Norwegian city today known as Oslo. When they returned to Norway four years later, they came back with a record of geographic and scientific discovery, the richness of which is unparalleled in the annals of Arctic exploration. The first section of this book is the story of those four heroic years spent in the High Arctic and their impact on Canada’s subsequent efforts to ensure Canadian sovereignty in the area of the Norwegian discoveries. The second section of the book deals with the Canadian Arctic expeditions between 1903 and 1948, led by intrepid men such as A P Low, Joseph E Bernier, Vilhjalmur Stefansson and Henry Larsen.

	Sitmar Liners : Past and Present This story of the Sitmar Liners is written primarily from an Australian perspective, but it also covers the general development of the company and its operations throughout the world. In the late 1940s SITMAR entered the passenger trades by obtaining contracts from the International Refugee Organisation to transport displaced persons from European ports to Australia and other countries. The first SITMAR passenger ship to come to Australia was Castelbianco, which was only one of many ships contracted to carry displaced persons. From these small beginnings, SITMAR developed into a major passenger shipping company during the 1950s, offering regular voyages between Europe and Australia for both migrants and fare-paying passengers. In the early 1970s, company entered the highly competitive North American cruise market. In this way, Sitmar Cruises was born. However, the link between Australia and the former Sitmar Cruises liners continues to this day.
