I recommend the following relatively new book to all those who are interested in British yachts that served as yachts or became passenger ships... I found it in my local Half-Price Book store http://halfpricebooks.com/find_a_store.html for $12! The photos are absolutely stunning.

R. MacTaggart, The Golden Century: Classic Motor Yachts 1830-1930, Norton & Co, New York, NY, 2001. You may be able to preview a few pages if you check http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0393...pt#reader-link
