Titanic

Plot

Since 1912, there have been many books written about the Titanic. Few have been well-illustrated--original Titanic art and photography being rather rare, then as now--and fewer still have made any effort to cover the two sister ships of the Titanic.

The White Star LIne planned to build three identical ships to service the lucrative North Atlantic run. Without the other two, there would have been no Titanic. Furthermore, the other two ship--the Olympic and the Britannic--led exciting, even tragic, lives rivalling that of the fabled Titanic herself.

This is the first book that has succeeded in putting the three fabulous sister ships in true perspective. In addition, the collection of art and photography is the finest of its type ever assembled. This is an essential book ofr any buff or for anyone who fondly remembers the ocean liners of the golden age.
