4.0 out of 5 stars A useful addition to your Titanic library, June 12, 2000

This review is from: Titanic (Hardcover)

In the trade, we refer to this as a book "printed as a remainder," i.e. a book intended to be sold inexpensively. But for an inexpensive book, Leo Marriott's "Titanic" is well worth having. Its selection of photographs is excellent and include real rarities like early construction photos of Olympic (it's worth noting here that a lot of the pictures printed as being of the Titanic, especially shots of her interior and many construction shots, are actually of Olympic. The reason is simple; Olympic was available for photography a lot longer than her sister ship was!), many of the famous Father Browne photographs (Browne, at the time in the novitiate and later a Jesuit priest, travelled from Southhampton to Queenstown on the maiden voyage and snapped away the entire time; Cameron paid tribute to one of his photos in his movie), and shots of the interior of an English hotel which is furnished with interiors torn out of the Olympic when she was broken up. Marriott also discusses the filmography of the Titanic disaster. Ignore the occasional typos; the book is well worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars It was fun to read, May 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Titanic (Hardcover)

I thought this book was pretty cool becouse it informed me with new infromation about the book such as it had 2 sister ships about the same size as The olimpic and Britantic. And it told me that there was a huge dock that it had to be made in and theat it could reach 30 knots, one of the fastes of its time. Over all I thought it was a pretty cool book.
