"A week-by-week survey of coasters throughout the world. Each week of the year is illustrated by two splendid colour photographs taken from January to December 2002. Each of the two photographs per page is accompanied by a detailed caption giving information about the ship and the historical and geographical background of the location. There are 110 photographs of coasters in a tremendous variety of locations. The oldest ship dates back to the 19th century; the newest is at the start of her delivery voyage."--Provided by the publisher.
