NOT JUST THE TITANIC
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
While the Titanic story has been covered extensively from every angle, much less is known about other White Star ships. But the line suffered several accidents over the years. This book tells us about the wrecks of the Atlantic, Britanic and Republic, among others. I especially enjoyed the chapters on the Olympic and Atlantic. The Olympic was the Titanic's sister ship, enjoying a fascinating history of her own. The Atlantic sank in 1873 with the loss of several hundred lives. Only true Titanic and sea buffs will want to read this book, though. Others will quickly find it boring and are advised to stick with materials entirely on Titanic.
