by M. Yamada, Y. Ikeda

$45 · Offered by eBay

This scarce privately published 1981 reference by M. Yamada and Y. Ikeda documents passenger ships from around the world with a level of detail rarely matched in English‑language sources. It focuses on postwar and mid‑20th‑century liners and ferries, giving individual vessel data such as names, owners, routes, tonnage, and construction details, making it ideal for serious ship enthusiasts and researchers. The Tokyo imprint and limited circulation mean surviving copies are not common outside specialist collections. Collectors of ocean liner history, Japanese maritime publications, or global passenger shipping will appreciate both the breadth of coverage and the meticulous tabular presentation typical of Japanese ship registers. This is an excellent shelf companion to standard works on ocean liners, filling in gaps for lesser‑known regional services as well as major international routes. If you track fleets, model ships, or photograph vessels, this book offers a valuable, data‑rich snapshot of the period. id q52
