Olympic and Titanic: The White Star Triple Screw Atlantic Liners (Ocean Liners of the Past)

184 pp. Photos and fold-out diagrams. Almost entirely a facsimile reprint... reproduces all the editorial pages exactly as they first appeared, including many gatefold plans, plus a section from the contemporary advertisements used in the original publication. ...this present book also includes three important extracts from later editions of "The Shipbuilder" which are particularly relevant. The first covers alterations and modifications to the original design, mostly made from experience gained with the Olympic. The second concerns the sinking of the Titanic, while the third contains summaries of the report of the Titanic enquiry, the report of the Merchant Shipping Advisory Committee and the Board of Trade's new rules for lifesaving appliances. Lastly there is an entirely new Epilogue by John Maxtone-Graham.
