5.0 out of 5 stars
I very much liked this book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lost Liners (Paperback)
Ever since I first heard of the Titanic, ships have fascinated me. Lost Liners delivers exactly what I want. It is an excellent source for research and for reading material. One reason it is so excellent is that it doesn't say anything like "Chapter 1; The Lusitania" but instead tells the entire story of transatlantic shipping, and when a ship disaster occured, it focuses on that. There is a lot to love about this book, from the fabulous paintings to the endless learning quality. I highly recommend it to anyone, and even if you aren't someone who loves to read, I am sure you will find something to like in Lost Liners.

Great photos, but I wish there were more of them!,

This review is from: Lost Liners: From the Titanic to the Andrea Doria The Ocean Floor Reveals Its Greatest Ships (Hardcover)
This book gives an outline of the history of ocean liners and has great photos of several wrecks, I wish he'd have put more pictures in of some of them, such as the Republic, Brittanic and Empress of Ireland, I also wished that he would have put in more information on the German lines, they were just as important as the British ones! All in all though it was a great read and the photos that did fill the book were impressive.

This book is absolutely beautiful,

This review is from: Lost Liners: From the Titanic to the Andrea Doria The Ocean Floor Reveals Its Greatest Ships (Hardcover)
Not only is this book beautifully illustrated, it is also beautifully written. Detailing the history of an age long gone, it brings the reader back to a time where shipbuilding and transatlantatic crossings were the blossoming industries of a developing world. And, as the title indicates, it travels through the greatest maritime disasters of history. I devoured this book -- it was one of the most fascinating things I have ever read. The illustrations are breathtaking and horrifically beautiful. It details the sinkings and destructions of the Andrea Doria, the Empress of Ireland, the Britannic, the Lusitania, and the Normandie. It also provides information about ships that did not sink, such as the White Star Line's "Old Reliable" Olympic, and the Cunard beauty Mauretania. And, since the book is by Robert Ballard, the reader is also privy to information about the discovery of each wreck.
