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. While everyone knows the new White Star liner was full of millionaires when she sank, few appreciate just how luxurious she was or how advanced her design was for her day.
In this beautiful limited edition, expert Titanic authors examine in detail the ship itself; Volume I, her design and construction, Volume II her interior design and fittings. They tell the amazing story of a liner built at the peak of the race between the British, French and Germans to build bigger and better ships.
Bruce Beveridge is one of the foremost authorities on Titanic's exterior and general working arrangements, and, with Scott Andrews, is a recognised authority on the technical aspects of her layout and construction. Steve Hall, a renowned Titanic visual historian, has collected, studied and researched the ship's photographic record for over three decades. Daniel Klistorner is the world's foremost expert on Titanic's passenger accommodations. Art Braunschweiger is a researcher in maritime and natural history and accomplished model ship builder.
