Paperback. Condition: New. RMS Majestic's history was shaped by war. Built in Germany for Albert Ballin's HAPAG, she was launched just before the start of the First World War as Bismarck. Following Germany's defeat, she was allocated to the United Kingdom and purchased by the White Star Line from the British government. Renamed Majestic, she earned the affectionate nickname 'The Magic Stick' during the Roaring Twenties, when she was the largest and one of the most popular liners in the world. The merger of the Cunard and White Star Lines and the Depression of the Thirties led to her withdrawal from service after only fourteen years, after which the British government acquired her as a naval training ship. She became Caledonia and served until fire consumed her in September 1939.RMS Majestic: The 'Magic Stick' was the first book devoted to her history. This revised and expanded edition is a lavish illustration of her life and times, showcasing many rare or previously unpublished images and new material, all put together by one of maritime history's most celebrated historians.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Revised and expanded new edition of classic illustrated history. Laid down and constructed for the German Hamburg Amerika Line, Majestic was ceded to Britain's White Star line to replace the Britannic, a sister ship of Titanic sunk during the war. At 56,000 tons she was the world's largest ship until the Normandie was built. With sumptuous interiors, luxurious restaurants and public rooms, she plied her trade until 1936 when she was destined to be sold for scrap. Rescued and converted into a training ship for naval cadets, she sailed for Rosyth as HMS Caledonia. Here she survived in a static role until 1940 when she was burned out. She spent most of her life on the Southampton-New York run but cruised to Canada and on short cruises from Southampton too. Mark Chirnside's previous two works, on the Olympic-Class ships, have become the definitive works on these white star vessels and have earned him two 'Books of the Month' from Ships Monthly. AUTHOR: Mark Chirnside is a well-known maritime author. He has previously written RMS Aquitania: The Ship Beautiful, Olympic. Titanic and Britannic: The Olympic Class Ships, RMS Olympic: Titanic's Sister, The 'Big Four' of the White Star Fleet, and Oceanic: White Star's Ship of the Century for The History Press. 50 colour, 130 b/w illustrations Revised and expanded new edition of classic illustrated history Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: New. Oceanic was the largest ship in the world when she was launched in 1899. The White Star Line's 'Ship of the Century', she was their last express liner before the Olympic and Titanic and her lavish first-class accommodation became renowned among Atlantic travellers. Serving on the company's express service for fifteen years, she earned a reputation for running like clockwork. Days after the outbreak of war, she was commissioned into the Royal Navy and converted into an armed merchant cruiser. However, her new-found status was not to last - she grounded on the rocks off Foula, in the Shetlands, within weeks and became a total loss. When she was wrecked, she had on board Charles Lightoller, Titanic's senior surviving officer. Oceanic: White Star's 'Ship of the Century' is the first book that looks at the entire career of this one-of-a-kind flagship. With human anecdotes, hitherto unpublished material and rare illustrations, Mark Chirnside's book is a beautiful tribute to a unique ocean liner.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. At the beginning of the twentieth century, competition between the North Atlantic shipping lines was fierce. While Britain responded to the commercial threat posed by the growing German merchant marine, there was also rivalry between the great Cunard Line and its chief competitor, the White Star Line. Against this backdrop Olympic, Titanic and Britannic were conceived. Designed for passenger comfort, they were intended to provide luxurious surroundings and safe, reliable service rather than record-breaking speed. In the end, fate decreed that only Olympic would ever complete a single commercial voyage and she went on to serve for a quarter of a century in peace and war. Titanic's name would become infamous after she sank on her maiden voyage. The third sister, Britannic, saw a brief and commendable career as a hospital ship during the First World War, sinking in the Aegean Sea in 1916. Here Mark Chirnside tells the sister ships' stories by way of previously unseen pictures, passenger diaries and deck plans. With a focus on the human histories of those who travelled and worked on the ships, this beautifully illustrated book details Olympic's successful career and the premature ends of her two unfortunate sisters.
