The <em>Britannic<\/em>. The <em>Olympic<\/em>. <\/strong>They are some of the most famous ships in history, but for the wrong reasons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Olympic Class liners<\/strong> were conceived as <strong>the largest, grandest ships ever to set sail<\/strong>. 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 <strong>White Star Line<\/strong>&#8216;s reputation as the greatest shipping company on earth. Instead, with the loss of both the <em>Titanic<\/em> and the <em>Britannic<\/em> in their first year of service, it guaranteed White Star&#8217;s infamy.<\/p>\n<p>This unique book tells <strong>the extraordinary story of these three extraordinary ships<\/strong> from the bottom up, starting with their <strong>conception and construction <\/strong>(and later their <strong>modification<\/strong>) and following their very different <strong>careers<\/strong>. Behind the<strong> technical details<\/strong> of these magnificent ships lies <strong>a tragic human story<\/strong> &ndash; not just of the lives lost aboard the <em>Titanic<\/em> and <em>Britannic<\/em>, but of the <strong>designers <\/strong>pushing the limits beyond what was actually possible, <strong>engineers<\/strong> unable to prepare for every twist of fate and <strong>ship owners and crew<\/strong> who truly believed a ship could be unsinkable.<\/p>\n<p>This fascinating story is told with <strong>rare photographs, new computer-generated recreations of the ships and unique wreck images <\/strong>that explore how well the ships were designed and built. Simon Mills offers unparalleled access to<strong> shipbuilders Harland &amp; Wolff&#8217;s specification book for the Olympic Class<\/strong>, including <strong>original blueprints<\/strong> and &#8211; being made widely available for the first time &#8211; <strong>large fold-out technical drawings<\/strong> showing how these extensive plans were meant to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>Edition: 2022<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"sottotitolo\"><span>Subtitle: <\/span>the anatomy and evolution of the olympic class<\/p>\n<p class=\"autore\"><span>Author: <\/span>simon mills<\/p>\n<p class=\"editore\"><span>Publisher: <\/span>adlard coles nautical (bloomsbury publishing)<\/p>\n<p class=\"isbn\"><span>ISBN: <\/span>9781472988652<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":146840,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[3059,2741],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-146842","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-essays-books-navigation-history-passenger-ships","7":"product_cat-navigation-history","9":"first","10":"onbackorder","11":"taxable","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
