Synopsis
On a bitterly cold April night in 1912, the liner Titanic struck an iceberg in mid-Atlantic and slowly sank, leaving only 705 survivors huddled in twenty lifeboats. Around them, 1, 523 men, women, and children drowned or froze to death before rescue could arrive. Despite the subsequent losses of many thousands of lives in various 20th century transportation accidents on land, in the air, or at sea, no disaster in history is so readily conjured up by the mention of a single word as the dramatic loss of the 'unsinkable' Titanic on the night of 14-15 April, 1912. The 'Olympic' class ships (as they were known), were the largest and most luxurious liners ever built, their sheer size giving an overwhelming feeling of safety and security. This was backed by the knowledge that they incorporated the best traditions of British shipbuilding and the latest techniques of design and construction. This story starts long before that fateful night however, in the hearts and minds of men who wanted to build the very biggest and the very best ships in the world. This book is a comprehensive guide to how and why these three fine sisters - Olympic, Titanic and Britannic - came to be built and the effect they were to have upon the world in the early stages of the 20th century. Appendices of this fully illustrated, coffee table-style book include films, chronology, crew list, passenger list, cargo manifest, bibliography and index sections.
