In the year 1903, Thomas Cook & Son organized a journey on the ultra-modern twin-screw steamer "Moltke", which was chartered from the Hamburg-America-Line. This book features the trip as well as the "Moltke". With the noumerous and rare pictures of the ship and its interior it is a living document of this wonderful and at that time brand-new steamer, which was destroyed in Italy shortly after WW I.
