Download or read book Titanic s Last Secrets written by Brad Matsen and published by Twelve. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After rewriting history with their discovery of a Nazi U-boat off the coast of New Jersey, legendary divers John Chatterton and Richie Kohler decided to investigate the great enduring mystery of history's most notorious shipwreck: Why did Titanic sink as quickly as it did? To answer the question, Chatterton and Kohler assemble a team of experts to explore Titanic, study its engineering, and dive to the wreck of its sister ship, Brittanic, where Titanic's last secrets may be revealed. Titanic's Last Secrets is a rollercoaster ride through the shipbuilding history, the transatlantic luxury liner business, and shipwreck forensics. Chatterton and Kohler weave their way through a labyrinth of clues to discover that Titanic was not the strong, heroic ship the world thought she was and that the men who built her covered up her flaws when disaster struck. If Titanic had remained afloat for just two hours longer than she did, more than two thousand people would have lived instead of died, and the myth of the great ship would be one of rescue instead of tragedy. Titanic's Last Secrets is the never-before-told story of the Ship of Dreams, a contemporary adventure that solves a historical mystery.

Download or read book Designing Liners written by Anne Wealleans and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This in-depth history of the interior design of ocean liners surveys the transient history of interior design in relation to the development of passenger shipping, from commissioning by the line owners, methods and sources for the original creation of designs through to its construction, use and influence. It is a short-lived branch of architecture and design, lasting an average of fifteen years. As the design and taste mirrors and reinforces cultural assumptions about national identity, gender, class and race, not only did the interiors of ocean going liners reflect the changing hierarchies of society and shifting patterns in globalization, but the glamour and styling of the liners were reflected back into the design of interiors on land. Combining design history, architecture history, material and visual cultures, Designing Liners is a richly multidisciplinary work for those studying or researching this application of interior design.

Download or read book When That Great Ship Went Down The Legal and Political Repercussions of the Loss of RMS Titanic written by GMW Wemyss and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-04-14 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Titanic sank in 1912, in the midst of a US presidential campaign and in the week in which the British government fought to give Home Rule to Ireland. JP Morgan, whose trusts owned the shipping line, became an immediate political target. Shares in the Marconi companies, credited with saving the survivors, rocketed - and three members of the British Cabinet had illicit share-holdings in Marconis. The shipbuilders refused to admit that the 1500 dead had died because their 'settled scientific consensus' - and US immigration laws - had doomed them. And a few staunch lawyers and judges, in Britain and America, refused to let political corruption and influence sway them from their duties. Praised by James Delingpole & Anne-Elisabeth Moutet, this is the story of the skulduggery and shabby compromises of 1912, the eventual revolution in safety measures that came of the disaster, and how Titanic sails on in shaping the modern world.
Download or read book Four Thousand Lives Lost written by Alastair Walker and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2012-03-31 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over four years, four ships were lost under different circumstances and 4,000 lives with them — but one thing linked them all: it was John Charles Bigham, Lord Mersey, who was appointed to head the inquiries into each disaster. Mersey is often referred to as a 'company man', or a government stooge. But is this the whole truth? Everyone has heard of Titanic and Lusitania but more passengers died when the Empress of Ireland sank in May 1914. That inquiry turned into a head-to-head between an American lawyer and a British one. Did Mersey let the right man win? Was he fair to Captain Lord of the Californian when he blamed him for the loss of so many lives on Titanic? The U-Boat that sank the Falaba with the loss of 104 lives behaved very differently to the one that torpedoed the Lusitania just six weeks later. Did Mersey reflect that in his findings or was he more interested in propaganda than truth?
Download or read book Designing Liners written by Anne Massey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designing Liners: A History of Interior Design Afloat covers the interior design of these floating palaces from the mid-nineteenth century to the twenty-first century. In this new edition, the design heritage of the ocean liner is also explored in this age of a growing holiday cruise market. The book offers the first history and analysis of this highly significant aspect of the design of interiors, which mirrors and reinforces cultural assumptions about national identity, gender, class, and ethnicity. The interiors of ocean liners reflect the changing hierarchies of society and shifting patterns of globalization. The trajectory of the professionalization of interior design is the connecting narrative of the book, from the local decorating firm to the internationally renowned architect. It is an important addition to interior design research and takes this transitory building type as its subject. This book provides the first survey of the transient history of interior design in relation to the development of passenger shipping. The history of these great ship interiors is tracked, from their commissioning by the line owners; the materials, methods, and sources for the initial creation; their construction; their use; and their reception. The demise and re-purposing of the interiors is also covered in this new edition, with additional material on the South African Union Castle and P & O Lines. Drawing on a broad range of original research, Anne Massey’s approach combines interior design studies, design history, architectural history, and maritime studies. The new edition has been carefully designed to include black and white and colour illustrations.
