This edition, which took more than six years to produce, greatly expanded and updated information for ships included in the first book and Historian supplements (see Past Books) spanning 1944 to 1969, the Society’s first 25 years. More than 700 vessels of 1,000 gross registered tons or more are included in this completely redesigned book, whereas the 1970 edition (50 pages) only covered closer to 300 vessels of similar size. This 235-page, revised and completely rewritten hardbound book offers an in-depth history of each vessel with statistics and renames, ownership changes and anecdotal information. It also includes over 90 high-quality, and in many cases, very rare photographs. Post-1970 data was included in a brief format where available or referenced to Volume II. This edition includes a dust cover, an extensive index and a photo-engraved hardcover.
