The largest, most luxurious ship in the world, lost on her maiden
voyage after colliding with an iceberg in mid-Atlantic, Titanic has
become the stuff of legends. Built at the peak of the race between
the British, French and Germans to build bigger and better ships,
she was the achievement of 15,000 men in one of the world's most
advanced shipyards. While everyone knows the new White Star liner
was the most glamorous and was full of millionaires when she sank,
few appreciate just how luxurious she was or how advanced her
design was for her day. For the first time, Bruce Beveridge, Scott
Andrews, Steve Hall, Daniel Klistorner and Art Braunschweiger look
in detail at the ship herself, how she was built and what it was
like inside. From the engine rooms to the First Class parlour
suites, from the Doulton water closets to the cargo cranes, every
area of Titanic is presented in stunning detail. Volume One covers
the design and construction of Titanic, with individual chapters
detailing such diverse areas as the riveting of the ship, her
heating and ventilation systems, funnels, steering and navigation
systems and more. Volume Two covers the interior design and fitting
out of the ship and presents detailed deck-by-deck information,
from the palatial rooms of First Class to areas of the ship seen
only by the crew.
