Book Synopsis RMS Caronia by : William H. Miller
Download or read book RMS Caronia written by William H. Miller. This book was released on 2011-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previously unpublished photographs and rare memorabilia, including work from maritime artist Robert Lloyd, enrich this photographic history of one of Cunard's most beloved liners Painted in shades of green and known affectionately as the "Green Goddess," Cunard's Caronia of 1949 ushered in the era of modern cruising, and here is her incredible story. She represented Britain's recovery and the rebirth of the world's maritime industry after the devastation of World War II, designed almost exclusively for an untapped passenger market: luxury cruising. With such illustrious Cunard predecessors as the Queen Mary, the ill-fated Lusitania, and the record-breaker Mauretania, Caronia was an instant favorite with the world's rich and famous. She gathered an exclusive, often American, clientele--the "mink and diamonds set"--who sailed on her year after year. Many passengers lived on board for years, giving her the air of an ultra-wealthy country club. While under tow to the breaker's yard, she met her end on the rocks at Guam after running aground during a typhoon. Her subsequent salvage was the largest ever undertaken by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Book Synopsis RMS OLYMPIC by : John Hamer
Download or read book RMS OLYMPIC written by John Hamer. This book was released on 2013-11-21. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So what was the real story behind the sinking of RMS Titanic, one of two almost identical twin sister ships, in 1912?... "The Titanic didn't sink! The ship that went down in the North Atlantic in 1912 was the Olympic, the Titanic's sister ship... Both ships were owned by the White Star Line, which was part of J.P. Morgan's investment empire. The company had reason and opportunity to switch the identities of these luxury liners in order to commit massive insurance fraud. In this book, John Hamer theorizes that, instead of selling her for scrap and taking a huge loss, which might have bankrupted the Morgan venture, the decision was made to switch identities, destroy the Olympic (now posing as the Titanic), collect the insurance, and continue operating the Titanic profitably (now posing as the Olympic). You'll be amazed at how much compelling evidence there is to support this conclusion." G Edward Griffin, author and researcher.
