Back in the 70s I bought a curious book with lovely drawings
of various designs for future shipping.
It seemed to have been translated from an
East German original.
I still have it buried somewhere in my book boxes but wondered whether anyone else had come across it.
 
I bought a remaindered copy years ago at WH Smiths. Great book - I don't remember the title. I too have buried it somewhere in a pile of books but now you've inspired me to hunt for it.
 
'Ships and Shipping of Tomorrow' by Rolf Schönknecht, Jürgen Lüsch, Manfred Schelzel and Hans Obenaus, MacGregor Publications, 1983
Originally published as 'Schiffe und Schiffahrt von morgen', VEB Verlag Technik, 1973
Illustrated by Jochen Bertholdt
 
The original seems to be available in the Staatsbibliothek Berlin. If someone's interested, I would
try to get it there and make copies, or a full scan.

I have a copy of that somewhere. It is rather wonderful.
