On the night of 14-15 April 1912, Titanic, a brand-new, supposedly
unsinkable ship, the largest and most luxurious vessel in the world
at the time, collided with an iceberg and sank on her maiden
voyage. Of the 2,208 people on board, only 712 were saved. The rest
perished in the icy-cold waters of the North Atlantic, and the
tragedy has fascinated and perplexed the world ever since. This
stunning book tells the story of not just the Titanic, but also of
its sister ships, Olympic and Britannic. Maritime experts J. Kent
Layton, Tad Fitch, and Bill Wormstedt tell the stories of these
legendary liners with a compelling narrative alongside original
artwork from up-and-coming artists, bringing to life the design,
construction and service of the ships together with the wrecks of
the ill-fated Titanic and Britannic. From the cold, starry night
when Titanic collided with her iceberg to the tragic wartime loss
of Britannic and the impressive reliability of the long-lived
Olympic, this cinematic and immersive new study captures all of the
glory and drama of the Olympic-class age and allows readers to
visualise Titanic and her sisters like never before.
