Customer Reviews

Wonderful rare photographs

This is a wonderful collection of the original photographs that are often reproduced elsewhere and both mislabeled as well as miscredited. Most noteworthy, the photo of the Olympic (in this volume) that is often attributed as the "last shot of the Titanic"...a great collection.

chilling

photo's of ill-fated ship titanic is hidden tresure.the pictures are fascinating and chilling.the pictures of captain smith peering down chill you to the bone.

The pictures were great.

the pictures helped show me how exactly the life was for the passangers in this great ship.

One of The Best...

The 10 for this book goes alot to Father Francis Browne who compiled his wonderful and unique collection of pictures,notes,and letters which he aquired during and after the Titanic tragedy,as a passenger on the Titanic.As Father Browne disembarked at Queenstown,Ireland,he was saved however had several friends aboard the ship and liked to take alot of pictures which he arranged in an album,writing his thoughts about each as he went along.There are a few pictures of other ships but this book is about the first 2 days aboard Titanic as a passenger and the aftermath.To be found in someone's attic,the photo album is a true Titanic treasure.The information is good, however not a wealth of technology as far as the construstion of the ship;this is rather personal which can tend to give one goosebumps....

"last days" is intriguing!

Found the numerous photos and accompanying text fascinating. Shows life on the Titanic as well as other ships,big and small. Hard to believe these were taken so very long ago. Brings the Titanic incident to life as you cruise through the book. What luck that the photographer departed the "T" in Ireland and missed the catastrophe.
