Titanic - The Ship Magnificent Vol I By Bruce Beveridge	The largest, most luxurious ship in the world, wrecked on her maiden voyage after colliding with an iceberg in mid-Atlantic, has become the stuff of legends. While everyone knows the new White Star liner was glamorous and full of millionaires when she sank, few appreciate just how luxurious she was. Even in third class, the accommodation was better than in first class on many older ships. 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.

Titanic in Photographs By TRMA members and trustees	The name Titanic has become synonymous with catastrophe, the story of this luxurious liner legendary. Wrecked after colliding with an iceberg on her maiden voyage, the loss of around 1,500 lives among her passengers and crew has gone down in history as one of the most emotive and tragic disasters in history. In this evocative collection of photographs the authors of TITANIC: The Ship Magnificent tell Titanic's full story, set against the backdrop of the great race to build the biggest and best passenger liner. From her genesis in the shipyard of Harland & Wolff to the anticipation of her launch and through her fitting out and sea trials, the excitement of Titanic's maiden voyage is keenly evident in the many rare and unusual images in this book. Looking at her departure from Southampton and her stops at Cherbourg and Queenstown, and including many photos never before published, the book follows the story to its tragic conclusion, the role of the Carpathia and the aftermath of this shattering disaster.
Titanic or Olympic: Which Ship Sank? By Bruce Beveridge & Steve Hall	Titanic's older sister, the nearly identical Olympic, was involved in a serious accident in September 1911, which may have made her a liability to her owners the White Star Line. Since 1912 rumors of a conspiracy to switch the two in an elaborate insurance scam has always loomed behind the tragic story of the Titanic. Could the White Star Line have really switched the Olympic with her near identical sister in a ruse to intentionally sink their mortally damaged flagship in April 1912 and cash in on the insurance policy? This book addresses some of these conspiracy theories and illustrates both the questionable anomalies and hard technical facts that will prove the switch theory to be exactly what it is—a mere legend.
RMS TITANIC:A Modelmakers Manual By Peter Davies-Garner	RMS Titanic has had more written about her than any other ship but, surprisingly, there is a little information directed at the modelmaker. This new book contains all the information needed to build a highly accurate model down to the tiniest details of the hull’s rivets. The book is based on the author’s own remarkable 20ft model, specially commissioned for a travelling exhibition throughout North America. It contains a mass of practical information on how to construct every part of the great liner and is equally applicable to a small static bread-and-butter display model as to a large working version. It is highly illustrated with superb close-up photographs of the model, detailed drawings by the author and a large collection of photographs of the prototype herself, some of which have never been published before. In addition, the book contains a complete set of plans of the Titanic which are considered to be the most accurate yet drawn. With its mix of practical information, rare photographs and highly-detailed drawings this book will appeal to all Titanic enthusiasts as well as to ship modellers of every sort.
The Olympic-Class Ship Olympic, Titanic, Britannic By Mark Chirnside	For the first time, now in one large book, here is the story of the magnificent trio: Titanic, Olympic and Britannic In the history of the great transatlantic liners, the story of the Olympic-class is surely one of the most extraordinary. When conceived, they were the largest vessels in the world and, in terms of luxury, they were magnificent. But the seemingly assured long and successful careers that were predicted for the trio, would turn out differently. This book traces in detail the turbulent history of these three sister ships whose average lifespan was less than ten years. Each ship was subtly dissimilar. Lessons learned from Olympic’s service were incorporated for Titanic. Despite being extremely popular with the cream of the traveling public, their joint history was punctuated with many mishaps culminating with the loss of Titanic after just four and a half days on her maiden voyage. With her loss the third sister’s hull design was radically changed. A new double hull however did not prevent Britannic from sinking in less than an hour in the Aegean after she hit a German mine in 1916. Only Olympic survived and had a lengthy life. Exhaustively researched, this book is not just a rehash but contains much new and original material and is the definitive history of the most famous sister ships of all time.
Olympic & Titanic – The Truth Behind The Conspiracy by Steve Hall & Bruce Beveridge	This unique book explores, with many comparison photographs and text, the theory promoted by some that Olympic was switched in place of Titanic. The basis was that on September 20, 1911, Olympic sailed from Southampton and collided with HMS Hawke. Did Olympic suffer from such damage that her structural integrity was compromised––wounds that were so severe that she was not worth repairing? Was she switched with her near identical sister Titanic in a ruse to intentionally sink their mortally damaged flagship on April 15, 1912. Incredibly off the wall as this plot seems, books have been written on this subject convincing many to believe. The authors are two young men who have spent many years specializing, researching and amassing a photographic collection of both ships. This book addresses all the questions with a wealth of evidence and provides the final answer to which wreck actually lies on the bottom of the North Atlantic.
Atlantic Liners By J. Kent Layton	A history of the great Atlantic liners of the early 20th Century. Ships under consideration include: Lusitania, Mauretania, Aquitania, Olympic, Titanic, Britannic, Imperator/Berengaria, Vaterland/Leviathan, and Bismarck/Majestic.
RMS Olympic: Titanic's Sister By Mark Chirnside	Sitting around a dining–room table in 1907, the owners of the White Star Line discussed their competition to the newly built Cunard liners, Lusitania and Mauretania. From that smoke–filled room came the first designs of three White Star superliners. Olympic and Titanic were to be built at Harland & Wolff’s yard in Belfast, while the third ship was to follow after construction had been completed on the first pair of sisters. The only ship to make a return passenger voyage was Olympic, and she was always overshadowed by her younger sisters. For the first time, here is the definitive story of Titanic’s sister, RMS Olympic.
Lusitania: An Illustrated Biography of the Ship of Splendor By J. Kent Layton	Prepare to take a journey back in time… step aboard the decks of one of the world’s largest, fastest, and most beloved ocean liners, and experience the LUSITANIA in all her splendor.
SS Leviathan: America's First Superliner By J. Brent Holt	The story of the Leviathan, originally called Vaterland, is a fascinating one. A remarkable ship, she is frequently not given the credit she deserves for her contributions to the U.S. Merchant Marine, and has been given short thrift by many writers who describe her only as a failure. Nothing could be farther from the truth. She was the first American superliner and set the stage for future successes with other famous passenger vessels such as the America and United States. Although of German origin, the "Levi" was popular and became a household name across the U.S. and other parts of the world. Her interiors were stunning and she was an engineering marvel. After an extensive refit by U.S. Lines in 1923 she was also the safest and arguably the best of the "Balin trio." Her adventurous career made her seem more a living thing than a hunk of steel.
RMS Olympic: Titanic's Sister By Mark Chirnside	Mark Chirnside has a knack of finding new info and turning it into a learning experience for the ship buff. In this volume, we get a great over-view of the Majestic, which was an important ship for the WSL. The pictures are excellent, the text is filled with important events in the ship's career. The only thing I could suggest is finding more people who sailed on it to add to the text. One could have hoped that the publisher would have allowed for a lengthier volume. Other than that, it certainly sets the bar in terms of research.
