Book Reviews of Lost Liners

Book Review: Following the fates of some of the worlds greatest liners.
Summary: 5 Stars

This beautiful book, written in typical Robert D. Ballard style and beautifully illustrated by period photographs and the paintings of Ken Marschall details the history of some of the greatest liners ever to sail. It includes ships which were once household names - Lusitania, Mauretania, Olympic, Titanic and Britannic - and tells us of their fates. It is written in such a way that you can almost imagine yourself there on deck with the other passengers. Not content with these well known leviathans of the ocean, Ballard brings the book up to date with the inclusion of the more glamourous liners of the '40's and 50's - Normandie, Queen Mary, and the ill fated Andrea Doria. If you ever wondered what happened to these wonderful ships, this book will take you on a guided tour, from shipyard to their current resting place on the dark ocean floor. This book is a must have for anyone with an interest in maritime history.
