Synopsis
The Titanic . The Britannic . The Olympic . They are some of the most famous ships in history, but for the wrong reasons. The Olympic Class liners were conceived as the largest, grandest ships ever to set sail. Of the three ships built, the first only lost the record for being the largest because she was beaten by the second, and they were both beaten by the third. The class was meant to secure the White Star Line's reputation as the greatest shipping company on earth. Instead, with the loss of both the Titanic and the Britannic in their first year of service, it guaranteed White Star's infamy. This unique book tells the extraordinary story of these three extraordinary ships from the bottom up, starting with their conception and construction (and later their modification) and following their very different careers. Behind the technical details of these magnificent ships lies a tragic human story - not just of the lives lost aboard the Titanic and Britannic , but of the designers pushing the limits beyond what was actually possible, engineers unable to prepare for every twist of fate, and ship owners and crew who truly believed a ship could be unsinkable. This fascinating story is told with rare photographs, new computer-generated recreations of the ships, and unique wreck images that explore how well the ships were designed and built. Simon Mills offers unparalleled access to shipbuilders Harland & Wolff's specification book for the Olympic Class, including original blueprints and - being made widely available for the first time - large fold-out technical drawings showing how these extensive plans were meant to be seen., With original blueprints, never-before-seen photos and new digital recreations, this book tells the fascinating story of the Olympic Class, revealing new insights that continue to be uncovered about the shared history of these magnificent ships., The Olympic. The Titanic. The Britannic. They are some of the most famous ships in history, but for the wrong reasons The Olympic class liners were conceived os the largest, grandest ships ever to sail the North Atlantic.

Extensively researched and highly readable, Olympic Titanic Britannic reveals the human story behind these magnificent vessels - the glory as well as the tragedy. Book jacket.
