Titanic: The Ship Magnificent - Volume II: Interior Design & Fitting Out

While everyone knows the new White Star liner was the most glamorous and was full of millionaires when she sank, few appreciate just how luxurious she was. Even in Third Class, the accommodation was better than on First Class on many older ships. In the second volume of Titanic: The Ship Magnificent, for the first time, Bruce Beveridge, Steve Hall, Scott Andrews, Daniel Klistorner and Art Braunschweiger look at the ship itself, and at her interior design and fittings. From cobalt blue Spode china and Elkington plate silverware in the a la carte restaurant to the design of the boilers and fixtures and fittings onboard the world's most luxurious vessel, they tell the story of a liner built at the peak of the race between the British, French and Germans to build bigger and better ships.
