One would assume from the title of this book that any text contained within it would be brief and mainly limited to captions for the images. This is certainly not the case and Titanic’s story is told in some detail. It also includes many historical references; for example, there is a full account of the launch as recorded at the time by a journalist from The Manchester Guardian. This attention to detail is just one example of many. It may be that the text was simply lifted and dropped from TTSM (I have no idea, as I haven’t read it) but it is extremely well written and lends gravitas to the book as a whole, as well as providing context for the photographs themselves.

The name Titanichas become synonymous with catastrophe, the story of this luxurious liner legendary. Wrecked after colliding with an iceberg on her maiden voyage, the loss of around 1,500 lives among her passengers and crew has gone down in history as one of the most emotive and tragic disasters in history. In this evocative collection of photographs the authors of Titanic The Ship Magnificenttell her full story, from the shipyards of Harland & Wolff and its early vessels, with the backdrop of the great race to build the biggest and best passenger liner, to the frenzy of excitement surrounding her launch. Looking at her officers and crew, as well as her stops at Cherbourg and Queenstown - including some special, rare photographs - the book follows the story to its inevitable conclusion, considering the lifeboats, the presence of the Carpathiaand the aftermath of the disaster. STEVE HALL and BRUCE BEVERIDGE set up the Titanic Research & Modeling Association(TRMA). Steve has built an extensive Olympic-class library and photographic portfolio, one of the finest collections privately held. All of the authors are often contacted by the media to comment the wreck, theories and research surrounding the ship, have published articles, and conduct Titanictalks.

Using private collections and official publications to support these many professional shots, the author(s) have produced a beautiful, flattering yet true, book, well explained in very detail captions and text that set out the timing and location of the various stages of Titanic’s first, and sadly, her last voyage.
A collector’s coffee-table enhancing book but also an engrossing read for any ships and seas buff.
