UK/AUSTRALIA: Until the early 1920s all Orient Line ships were driven by coal-fired engines, which meant that the ship???s coal bunkers had to be frequently replenished during the voyage. It was hot, dusty and dirty work. In this image sacks of coal are hauled up and emptied down the coal shutes to the bunkers alongside the engine rooms. FASCINATING new photos show what life was life for Brits travelling on cruise liners throughout the 20th century ??" including those who sought to build a new life on the other side of the world for only ?L10. A striking series of shots shows passengers enjoying a game of cricket on deck, ladies sunning themselves on deckchairs whilst socialising, and ship workers standing next to huge quantities of gold destined to be shipped overseas. Another eye-catching photo shows Prince George and Princess Mary, later to become King George V and Queen Mary, standing on the shore in front of a magnificent cruise liner. The dazzling images are displayed in a new book ???A Photographic History of the Orient Line???, by Chris Frame, Rachelle Cross, Rob Henderson and Doug Cremer and includes information on the passengers who were offered the chance to live in Australia post World War Two.
