Adlard Coles Olympic Titanic Britannic: The anatomy and evolution of the Olympic Class

Só não dei 5 estrelas pq o livro chegou com pequeno dano no canto inferior (capa dura). O livro em si é bem grosso, ótimo para aficionados do titanic rs. Comprei na promoção,valeu a pena demais.

I thought this was a terrific book. It tells of the thinking of the passenger shipping company White Star’s management in the early 1900s regarding the conception and construction of the three sister ships “Olympic,” “Titanic,” and “ Britannic.” Their shipping careers are comprehensively discussed. The sinking of “Titanic”and “Britannic” are described in detail. The financial and structural demise of “Olympic” in the 1930s is also described well. There are also tidbits of personal stories of key people involved in the ships in one way or another ranging from ships’ captains to nurses and sailors.The text is accompanied by many period black and white photos. There are also several color CGI renderings of decks, promenades, and dining rooms and sketches of decks layouts and key structural details.An excellent book describing the latest thinking on the reasons for the loss of “Titanic” is “What Really Sank the Titanic” by McCarty (2008).

Fans looking for more information on Sister ships Olympic and Britannic will be pleasantly surprised....Wonderful Illustrated images of the Legendary White Star Trio with some of Simon Mill's best writing yet...

Very interesting book, lots of fascinating information within. Enjoyed by Son and Myself.

Har läst minst en handfull böcker om Titanic sedan början av 1970-talet.Detta är en mycket intressant bok om ett ämne som aldrig slutar fascinera för oss som är intresserade av sjöfart och fartyg.
