Titanic: The Ship Magnificent Volume One - Design & Construction

The largest, most luxurious ship in the world, wrecked on her maiden voyage, has become the stuff of legends. While everyone knows the new White Star liner was glamorous, few appreciate just how luxurious she was. Even in Third Class, the accommodation was better than on First Class on many older ships. Here Bruce Beveridge, Steve Hall, Scott Andrews and Daniel Klistorner look at the construction and exterior of the ship. From the design of the boilers to detailed deck plans on board the world's most luxurious vessel, they tell the story of a liner built at the peak of the race between the British, French and Germans to build bigger and better ships. This updated edition includes a new introduction, textual updates and a number of revised photographs and plans as well as unpublished colour photographs from White Star Memories Ltd, showcasing furniture, objects and intricate detailing from Olympic, Titanic and Britannic.
