White Star ships won the admiration of those who sailed in them as well as inspiring awe from the casual observer standing on a pier looking up at the massive power and majesty of a four-funneled liner like Titanic. A singular record, this book gives the reader a sense of scope of the enormous influence
White Star had in the development of the modern steamship. Transatlantic crossings were a watery racetrack and ocean-going ships were a parade of steel greyhounds; the dream to dominate the Atlantic trade was dashed with Titanic's loss.
Tracing the background with a brief history of the company, a wealth of subjects including Blue Riband Sisters, Armed Merchant Cruisers, Ship Surgery, The Crowning Glory of the 19th Century, The Olympic-Class, Emigrants and Cargo, The Cruising Business, Joint Service to Australia and New Zealand, Cherbourg
Tenders, Cabin Class to Canada is but a portion covered. A ship specification and index provides the reader with an instant history of the ships: Names, Tonnage, Machinery, Speed and Length of Service.
Extra touches like using White Star colors, superb images, a striking jacket, White Star collectibles and a red ribbon marker makes the book standout stylish and substantive.
Size 8.5 X 11.5. 136 pages. Hardcover.
