Titanic: The Ship Magnificent

The largest, most luxurious ship in the world, wrecked on her maiden voyage after colliding with an iceberg in mid-Atlantic has become the stuff of legends. While everyone knows the new White Star liner was the most glamorous vessel afloat, few appreciate just how luxurious she was. For the first time, Bruce Beveridge, Steve Hall, and Scott Andrews look at the ship itself, and at her interior design and fittings. From cobalt blue Spode china and Elkington plate silverware in the à la carte restaurant to the design of the boilers and fixtures and fittings onboard the world’s most luxurious vessel, they tell the story of a liner built at the peak of the race between the British, French, and Germans to build bigger and better ships.
