PS Waverley : the first sixty years /Alistair Deayton and Iain Quinn. "In 1947, one of the last paddle steamers built in the U.K. entered service on the Clyde. She was the PS Waverley, now famous as the world?s last sea-going paddler. She is now a frequent sight around the British coast, taking many thousands of pleasure-seekers on day trips from many British ports and harbors. From the Clyde to the Thames, from the Bristol Channel to the South Coast, Waverley is a magnificent sight. Totally rebuilt early this century, she is destined for another 60 years of service. Alistair Deayton and Iain Quinn take us on a nostalgic trip through more than a half century of Waverley history."--Provided by the publisher. 2007. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 629.123.21WAVERLEY

James 'Athenian' Stuart, 1713-1788 : the rediscovery of antiquity /Susan Weber Soros, editor. This book examines the career of James 'Athenian' Stuart 1713-1788 and his contributions as designer, artist and tastemaker. It was published in conjunction with the exhibition James 'Athenian' Stuart 1713-1788: The Rediscovery of Antiquity' held at The Bard Center for Studies in the Decorative Arts, Design and Culture from November 2006 - February 2007. Twelve distinguished authors bring together the most recent research on Stuart's life and career in this volume edited by Susan Weber Soros. Chapters cover Stuart's most enduring achievement, 'Antiquities of Athens' (David Watkin), his rise to quite 'extraordinary heights' from very humble beginnings (Catherine Arbuthnott) and Kerry Bristol traces his close-knit patronage circle as well as Stuart's most important public commission - the Royal Hospital for Seamen at Greenwich. Richard Hewlings examines Stuart's interior design work on a few London houses, including Spencer House. M.G. Sullivan explores the relationship between Stuart and the craftsmen he hired and three further chapters look at his furniture design, metalwork and his designs for medals. The book contains photographs of many of the objects from the exhibition along with photographs of period portraits and engravings. An illustrated chronology of Stuart's work and a bibliography of primary and secondary sources are also included. 2007. • FOLIO • 1 copy available. 92Stuart

Picture history of the Cunard line, 1840-1990 / Frank O. Braynard and William H. Miller, Jr. This illustrated history contains over 180 black and white photographs depicting the ships of the Cunard Line. Started in 1840, the line was the result of Samuel Cunard's dream to provide a regular transatlantic mail and passenger steamship service and it quickly became the hallmark of excellence by which other shipping companies were judged. Text and photographs tell the history of over 70 Cunard Line ships from the first, Britannia, launched from Liverpool in 1840, to famous names such as Mauretania and her ill-fated sister ship, Lusitania, and the iconic cruise liners Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Elizabeth 2. Photographs show the liners at sea and in port as well as featuring interiors and life aboard ship. 1991. • FOLIO • 1 copy available. 347.792"1840/1990"CUNARD
