Summary: A must have in the Titanic collection
Review: I have lots of books about different ships in the early 1900's and tons of books on Titanic and this one is one of my favorites.I liked how all three ships are together and there are some rare photos.There are photos of the ships going through construction, in dry dock and at launch. There is lots of interesting information listed about the White Star Line as well.

Summary: One of the best books written about Titanic and her sisters
Review: If you are interested in learning about Titanic and her sisters, Olympic and Britannic, this book is the best place to start. It includes many photos of the construction of all three ships and has informative information on all three ships. Since I am a maritime historian, this is one of the books in my own collection and is one of my favorites.A lot of the phots are not commonly found, this makes it a good book to have in a collection about these ships.

Summary: Titanic and Her Sisters Olympic and Britannic
Review: It is a good book, well worth the price, but I have one complaint-it has a few errors in captions.

(For example, Titanic's aft Grand Staircase [not as grand as the forward one] was mistaken for Olympic's forward Grand Staircase. Yes, there are differences-Olympic's forward Grand Staircase was just as grand as Titanic's forward staircase.)

Aside from a few captioning errors, it is a wonderful book, a must have for an Olympic, Titanic, and Britannic enthusiast. Pictures are wonderful, saw so many things that couldn't be seen otherwise.

Summary: Titanic and her sisters Olympic and Brittanic
Review: This book is very exclusive and it has about all the information of the Olympic Class ships; Titanic, Olympic, and Brittanic. From construction to the end of each ships with very high quality pictures for details of each. I highly recommend this book for modelers for these ships. It's a wonderful book to see all the anatomy and the unprinted photos of the ships. It has black and white photos and sections of paintings or illustrations. I recommend it. Enjoy!!!!

Summary: Must have for any White Star Line/ Olympic Class collector.
Review: Tom McCluskie retired from the archive department of Harland Wolff,(the company that built the Olympic Class Liners)and co-writers do a fine job in providing history of Harland & Wolff, The White Star Line (Oceanic Steam Navagation Company)and technical and ancedotal notes on the building of these great liners. Photos not often seen are included through out the book. This is a must have book for any White Star Line - Titanic, Olympic and Britannic collector. Don't forget to check out Tom's other books "Anotomy of the Titanic" and "The Wall Chart of the Titanic"

Summary: Worth having for some very unusual photos
Review: Tom McCluskie, an employee of Harland & Wolff, the Belfast shipbuilders who designed and built the Titanic, has made a bit of an industry for himself putting out books on the subject. This book is probably the one most worth having, as it has all of the photos in his other books plus some amazing and unusual photos of Britannic under construction that I had never seen before (especially impressive were some shots of the reciprocating engines being installed). The price is definitely right, but be warned that for the massive size of the book the binding is a little on the weak side.
