William H. Miller Jr.

    Tento autor sa s nadšením venuje zlatému veku zaoceánskych parníkov a skúma toto fascinujúce obdobie námornej histórie. Jeho rozsiahle znalosti a pútavý štýl písania oživujú éru veľkých lodí a ich nezabudnuteľné plavby. Prostredníctvom svojej literárnej práce približuje čitateľom kúzlo a eleganciu doby, keď parníky dominovali cestovaniu cez oceány. Jeho diela sú poctou tejto historickej ére a ponúkajú pohľad do sveta, ktorý už neexistuje.
