The Mayflower sailed from Southampton to the New World in 66 days; the QE II made the transatlantic cruise in 5 days. Guess who offered the better champagne and truffles? Floating Palaces is an excellent historical overview of the ups and downs of passenger ships and luxury ocean liners from around the world. Interviews with maritime historians and survivors are combined with archival and modern day film footage to trace the story of these remarkable superliners in all their glory...and, in some cases, their tragic doom. Highly recommended. Note: for boat-lore fans, A&E is also releasing The Clippers, The Dreadnoughts, The Galleons, The PT Boats and The Whalers. Aud: J, H, C, P. (R. Pitman)
