Book Overview
From the building of the gigantic twin gantries for Titanic and her sister ship Olympic, through keel-laying, framing, plating, launching, construction and installation of the vast engines, and the final fitting out of the elegant liner, the high-quality photographs and informative text and captions capture the almost superhuman achievement of the thousands of skilled men involved in this truly titanic task. Also covering the fatal maiden voyage, the collision and rescue attempts, and concluding with vivid descriptions of how the dreadful news was received in Belfast, this - the first major book to focus on the construction of the ship - is a unique addition to the Titanic legend.

The Birth of the Titanic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
My husband purchased the book from one of your vendors. He is employed by Premier Exhibitions, the Titanic archives. He reads all he can find on the ship and the sinking. He saw this and ordered one for himself. He was just amazed at the quality of the photos and would recommend it to anyone interested in the Titanic. The vendor who supplied the book proveded excellent, timely service. We would use the vendor again.
