Before the advent of commercial transatlantic flights in the early 1950s, the only way to travel between continents was by sea. In the golden age of ocean liners, between the late nineteenth century and the Second World War, shipping companies ensured their vessels were a home away from home, providing entertainment, dining, sleeping quarters and smoking lounges to accommodate passengers of all ages and budgets, for voyages that could last as long as three months.Secrets of the Great Ocean Liners leads the reader through each of the stages - and secrets - of ocean liner travel, from booking a ticket and choosing a cabin to shore excursions, dining, on-board games, social events, romances, and disembarking on arrival. Additional chapters disclose wartime voyages and disasters at sea. The shipping companies produced glamorous brochures, sailing schedules, voyage logs, passenger lists, postcards and menus, all of which help us to savour the challenges, etiquette and luxury of ocean liner travel. Diaries, letters and journals written on board also reveal a host of behind-the-scenes secrets and fascinating insights into the experience of travelling by sea. This book dives into a vast, unique collection to reveal the scandals, glamour, challenges and tragedies of ocean liner travel.

The Goblin and the Ocean's Secret Summary of this Story: "The Goblin and the Ocean's Secret" is a children's fairy tale about a curious and brave monster named Gob. Gob is amazed by how big the ocean is. He can see it from his home, which is in the middle of a thick forest near the water. He decides to explore the ocean to find out more about it, so he packs food and drink into a small backpack. Gob spends a long time making his way through the thick jungle before he gets to the beach. He wades into the water. After swimming for several hours, he finally gets to an island in the middle of the ocean. In a small cave on the island, Gob finds a treasure chest full of things. One of them is a small gem that pulsed with a soft light. As soon as he picks up the crystal, he realizes that it is the key to opening the secrets of the sea, and he feels a strange rush of energy. Gob makes his way back to his people, the goblins, who are having a hard time making it through the harsh winter and are quickly running out of food and supplies. He shows them how the crystal can use the power of the ocean to bring warmth and plenty to their town. He also tells them how this is done. Gob and his friends come up with a way to use the power of the crystal to heat their homes and grow food. But their victory doesn't last long because a group of evil goblins who are jealous of Gob's success attack their town. They are willing to do anything to get the crystal because they want it for themselves. Gob gives the order for his friends to run away, but he stays put to fight the enemy. He uses the power of the sea to give himself a quick burst of strength and throw them crystal high into the air. The evil goblins are scared away, and the crystal shines brighter than ever before. But winning does not come without a cost. After letting out too much energy, the crystal breaks into a million pieces, which then scatters all over the forest floor. Gob's heart is broken, but he quickly realizes that the pieces of the crystal still have their life force. He puts all these parts together and comes up with a new way to use the power of the ocean. It's not as strong as the original crystal, but it's enough to support his group and keep them warm and fed. Gob realizes that the ocean's main secret is not just the energy it has, but rather the chance to work together and help each other that it represents. He has decided that information is not something that can be owned or controlled. Instead, it is something that should be shared and used for the good of society. He is grateful for the help and support he has gotten from his friends and advisors, and he knows that he needs to keep working with them to build a better future. In the end, Gob and his people learn to live happily with the sea and use its power to keep themselves and their community alive. When Gob looks out at the ocean and sees how big it is, it reminds him that he still has a lot to learn and understand. On the other hand, he is no longer afraid of things he can't know. He is sure that if he and his people work hard, don't give up, and stick together, they will be able to overcome any problem and use the power of the sea to build a better future for themselves and their society. When it comes to learning and understanding, "The Goblin and the Ocean's Secret" is an uplifting story that shows how important it is to be persistent, dedicated, work together, and be thankful. This lesson is meant for kids and teens. It also shows the possible benefits and risks of seeking knowledge and understanding, as well as the importance of putting information to use for practical reasons and the good of society.
The curiosity, drive, and perseverance of the nineteenth-century woman scientist who pioneered the use of aquariums to study ocean life are celebrated in this gorgeous, empowering picture book. How did a nineteenth-century dressmaker revolutionize science? Jeanne Power was creative: she wanted to learn about the creatures that swim beneath the ocean waves, so she built glass tanks and changed the way we study underwater life forever. Jeanne Power was groundbreaking: she solved mysteries of sea animals and published her findings at a time when few of women’s contributions to science were acknowledged. Jeanne Power was persistent: when records of her research were lost, she set to work repeating her studies. And when men tried to take credit for her achievements, she stood firm and insisted on the recognition due to her. Jeanne Power was inspiring, and the legacy of this pioneering marine scientist lives on in every aquarium.
