Mark D. Warren, noted maritime author and historian, carefully reviewed and edited thousands of pages in order to create this first composite volume in the "Distinguished Liner" series comprising 'the best of The builder.'
For the book, Warren selected 41 vessels, including such famous s as the Rotter, France, Cameronia, Adriatic, Laurentic, Empress of Russia, and Empress of Ireland, as well as Lusitania and Titanic. He then imported or repositioned 220 blocks of text, photos and advertisements to present this rare glimpse of the construction, size and furnishing of these remarkable liners.
This volume also includes an 1) introduction outlining the subsequent history of these great s, which is particularly important since 15 of the vessels did not survive the 'Great War,' six were lost in World War II and three were lost in major peacetime disasters. 2) 22 additional folding blueprint plans 3) 41 diagrams including transverse cutaways and engine room plans 4) 4 additional color plates along with a fifth color plate, and two-color folding 'Titanic' advertisements 5) 63 rare original advertisements totalling more than 37 pages that, illustrated with 18 engravings and more than 40 photographs, include 24 of the 'Lusitania' and 'Mauretania', and 24 of the 'Olympic' and 'Titanic.' 6) Two facsimile perforated tissue subscription forms.
