SHIPS: FROM THE ARCHIVES OF HARLAND &amp; WOLFF - THE BUILDERS OF THE TITANIC 
 Taken from the archives of Harland &amp; Wolff, one of the world's most enduring and respected shipbuilding companies, SHIPS presents a selection of elegant designs. During an era in which steam propulsion was still in its infancy, many of these historic illustrations depict the tentative crossover to the new technology, incoporating the fine lines and slender hull shape of the traditional sailing vessel with the power of the new engines. While steam was intended to be the main source of motive power, the addition of sails provided an alternative and trusted method of propulsion should this "new-fangled" steam engine fail to live up to its expectations. 
 Edwin Harland was known in his day as an innovative and daring ship designer and his flair for elegance as well as strength is apparent throughout this riveting history. The construction of these ships provides as much in the way of safety, utility and comfort as it does to aesthetics. 
 This unique account is both a fascinating and historic document and a superb expression of the shipbuilder's love of seagoing craft, and his exquisite skill in designing such refined ships to the most precise specifications. 
 Lavishly illustrated, this highly informative work contains over 175 color illustrations.

In the early 21st century, over 100 years after her demise, the Titanic is the most notorious ship ever to have taken to the sea. Her tragic story has fascinated every generation from the time, even before her sinking, that every Victorian schoolboy could recite her colossal dimension by heart. More recently, James Cameron's 1997 movie, Titanic, grossed in excess of $1.8 billion, making it one of the biggest block-busters ever-an indication of the extent to which she continues to capture the imaginations of people worldwide. It is less widely known that she was the second of the three vessels known as the 'Olympic' class. Her sisters were the Olympic and the Britannic. Together, these were the largest and the most luxurious liners of their time, their sheer size giving an overwhelming feeling of safety and security. This was backed by the best traditions of British shipbuilding and the latest techniques of design and construction. However, only one of them, Olympic, was to have a full career and Britannic, just a year after entering service and despite many modiﬁcations to further enhance safety after Titanic'; loss, sank after hitting a mine in a chilling echo of her sister's fate. Titanic and Her Sisters is a deﬁnitive account of these three beautiful ships and details their stories from the events that shaped their construction to the relatively recent Cameron movie and the salvage of artifacts from Titanic's wreck. Illustrated with over 500 pictures, many of them in full color, this collaboration of three writers, each of them who are noted for their expertise, is, perhaps, the most comprehensive work ever produced on the subject. A very large 9.25" x 12" format and 512 pages of fascinating text and hundreds of photos, well over 5 lbs / PRC Publishers, London 1998
