DESCRIPTION - A commemorative history of the Union Steamship Company and her ships, with paintings by Jack Hobbs. A pictorial record of a Union Company that has passed. The advent of the airliner sounded the death knell of its passenger vessels. Few shipping companies have encompassed the variety of trades which the Union Company did in its heyday; coasters, both passenger and cargo, short sea traders and deep sea passenger lines, they are all here, in the pictures of Jack Hobbs and the words of Douglas Gardner.
