More literature featuring ORIANA

We have mentioned previously the subject of ORIANA being written about in maritime literature often with near sister AURORA.
During the late 1990's the ship while still in her early career made an appearance in two books relating to maritime matters.
The first 'CANBERRA- In The Wake Of A Legend' written by maritime historian Philip Dawson was P&O's official book commemorating the venerable liner's retirement in 1997.

      Since ORIANA was to serve as CANBERRA's successor as flagship and also one of the most important passenger ships built for Britain since the 1960's in the book it mentions the various ways  in which CANBERRA's design influenced ORIANA's mentioning what features were adapted into ORIANA.
  The second book from 1999 'Cruise Ships An Evolution In Design'  also by Philip Dawson features a detailed description of the development of the cruise liner from it's earliest origins to the emergence of the 100,000 ton + ship.
ORIANA has an entire section of one chapter dedicated to her as a example of a modern day ship inspired by the era of the ocean liners.
The cover of the book also included an early rendering of the ship which would become AURORA during a period when the ship's design bore a stronger resemblance to ORIANA.
