This book is a delightful insight to the history which is much more than a 'few ships' P&O is definitely a forwardthinking company who doesn't have a problem looking back and reminiscing. Packed with photographs and illustrations, this is a book which can be dipped into time and time again. - Burton Mail May May 2012
