Famous Ships & Ocean Liners Books

Ships become famous for different reasons: disasters, wartime service, feats of engineering or simply being beautiful. This collection covers the stories of individual vessels and classes, from Titanic and Lusitania to Cutty Sark, QE2 and the great ocean liners of the 20th century.

Titanic is particularly well represented, with titles covering the ship, the disaster, the inquiry and the legacy. You will also find broader books on cruise ship history, warship stories and surveys like Fifty Ships that Changed the Course of History.
