Star Ship by E.C. Tubb:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas

"The ship had become The Ship during its 300 year journey through the void. Nobody knew when Journey's End in the remote system of Pollux was due - or if it would ever come. Meanwhile, fifteen generations had been born on board and people had to die to make room for them. But they couldn't officially be told that - the Ship was a law unto itself."


('Star Ship' by E.C. Tubb)
