A revised and enhanced new edition of this classic work, filling an important gap in maritime history

The world famous ocean liner Titanic, which sank on her maiden voyage in 1912, is the latest subject to receive the Haynes Manual treatment. This title contains hundreds of illustrations and helps to see how this leviathan was built, launched and fitted out.

The final golden age of the ocean-going passenger liner was from the mid-1950s through to the late 1960s, when famous liners such as the Queen Mary, the Queen Elizabeth, The United States, and the France, traversed the Atlantic. They offered an unrivalled quality of service as they sought to become holders of the 'Blue Riband' for the fastest crossing. With nostalgia for the great days of luxury travel increasing, publication of this tribute to the last generation of ocean-going passenger liners is opportune. Some of the liners featured will be well-known others less so. The book will appeal to all those who remember travelling on the great liners during these years as well as all maritime enthusiasts.
