This history book tells the story of RMS Queen Elizabeth, the ship which, along with her running mate Queen Mary, successfully worked Cunard's transatlantic service for much of the twentieth century. She was launched in September 1938, the largest passenger liner built at the time and for many years after. Entering service as a troopship in the Second World War, she had a successful career before retiring in 1968, after which she was sold to a Hong Kong businessman with plans to convert her into a floating university. But it was not to be and she was capsized in a mysterious fire in the harbour in 1972, a bizarre and unbecoming end for one of Cunard's most faithful servants. Andrew Britton delves into his comprehensive maritime collection to present a wealth of unpublished photography and ephemera, aerial photography and even Queen Elizabeth's original purchase receipt, to cover every detail of this historic liner.

Uber den praktischen Stahlschiffbau ist das letzte grossere Werk in Deutschland ("Eisenschiffbau" von Otto Schlick) vor 39 Jahren erschienen. Das letzte englische Werk ("Practical Shipbuilding" von Campbell Holmes) ist vor 25 Jahren entstanden und erlebte seither drei Auflagen. Seit der Schaffung dieser Buchwerke hat die Schiffbautechnik eine Periode um walzender Fortschritte in festigkeitstechnischen Grundlagen, sowie in zahl reichen Einzelheiten der Konstruktion und der praktischen Ausfuhrung durch gemacht. Es ist daher heute vollig gerechtfertigt und wird uberall als Bedurfnis be zeichnet, ein neues Hilfsbuch fur dieses Schaffensgebiet herauszubringen, welches dem heutigen Stand der Schiffbautechnik entspricht. Bei allen Schiffstypen war der theoretisch-konstruktive Fortschritt im wesentlichen dahin gerichtet, durch gunstigere Materialverteilung und gleichmassigere Ma terialausnutzung die notwendige Festigkeit mit verringertem Baugewicht zu erzielen, schwache Stellen in ihren Beanspruchungen zu erkennen und durch Verein fachungen verringerte Bau- und Reparaturkosten zu erzielen. Eine solche Entwicklung im Sinne der Rationalisierung der Konstruktion fuhrte u. a. dahin, dass festigkeitstechnisch fruher nicht in den Langstrager einbezogene, von Bord zu Bord reichende Aufbauten zur oberen Gurtung ausgebildet wurden. Am ausge sprochenstell kam dies bei den Spardeckern und Sturmdeckern zur Geltung, wo das Spardeck bzw. Sturmdeck zum obersten und starksten durchlaufenden Verband wurde. Das Widerstandsmoment des Tragers erhohte sich dadurch betrachtlich, und bei allen Schiffbaunationen wurde nun der Konstruktionstyp "mit Freibord" heraus gebildet, bei welchem man, vom Volldecker ausgehend, innerhalb gewisser Grenzen fur eine Vergrosserung der Seitenhohe eine Verschwachung der Verbande vornehmen konnte."
