Episode 1: Maiden Voyage
October 11, 1997 • 54 min
The history of passenger ships begins with the move from sail to steam and the formation of major cruise lines P&O and Cunard. Rivalry between Germany and Britain intensified with Germany launching the first superliner, Kaiser Wilhelm Der Grosse in 1897, and Britain answering with Mauretania and Lusitania. Titanic is built and sinks, and events are leading to World War 1.
