Oceanic: White Star's 'Ship of the Century'

The White Star Lineâ€™s Oceanic was the largest ship in the world in 1899 when she was launched as the companyâ€™s "Ship of the Century." She was the companyâ€™s last express liner prior to Olympic and Titanic, and her lavish first class accommodation became renowned among Atlantic travelers. Serving on the companyâ€™s express service for 15 years, she earned a reputation for running like clockwork. Unfortunately, on the outbreak of war she was converted to an armed merchant cruiser and became a total loss when she grounded within weeks. This exceptionally researched and beautifully illustrated book explores her history and legacy.
