While everyone knows the new White Star liner was glamorous and full of millionaires when she sank, few appreciate just how luxurious she was. Even in third class, the accommodation was better than in first class on many older ships. From cobalt blue Spode china and Elkington plate silverware in the a-la-carte restaurant to the design of the boilers and fixtures and fittings onboard the world's most luxurious vessel, they tell the story of a liner built at the peak of the race between the British, French, and Germans to build bigger and better ships. |

| Publisher Description: Since the day Titanic passed into history, people have been writing books about the circumstances surrounding the loss of this great ship - who was to blame, who the passengers and crew were, how the ship sank and so on. And yet, little has been written about the great ship herself - the design, structural details and engineering of what is arguably the most famous ship ever built. This first volume manages to assemble a picture of nearly all of Titanic's internal spaces.The authors of this book, Bruce Beveridge, Scott Andrews, Steve Hall, Daniel Klistorner and Art Braunschweiger have earned a reputation in the Titanic community for being staunch and aggressive researchers. |
