This, the second book written and compiled by Philip Rentell, includes many period postcards issued over the ninety years of the company's existence and reproduced here in full colour, illustrating the great ships of the White Star Line. With 'Historic Cunard Liners', this volume helps to fill the gap in the recorded history of these two famous companies which amalgamated in 1936. There is a brief but concise company history followed by descriptions and views of over 30 vessels, including some of the extravagant interiors, ships aground, and of course, the legendary 'Titanic', still remembered as the worst peacetime disaster at sea. This second fascinating colour record of some of the world's great leviathans, sadly long departed, will not only appeal to both nautical enthusiast and postcard collector, but also to the general reader, who will find it a worthy companion to 'Historic Cunard Liners'.
