| وصف الكتاب | FIVE YEARS in the making, RMS Mauretania and her sister the Lusitania represented a new era in British shipbuilding. Ostensibly built to compete against record-breaking German behemoths, the Mauretania was not only one of the first major ships to be turbine-driven or have four propellers - she was the largest moving structure ever to have been created by man at that time. And, soon enough, she would become the fastest as well.But the Mauretania wasn't just built for luxury. When war was declared in August 1914, she was pressed into service as a troop- and hospital ship. Where once she had carried society ladies, she now carried soldiers.Intensely researched and with over 100 photographs and illustrations, RMS Mauretania (1907): Queen of the Seas is the definitive book on this most remarkable liner. |
| المراجعة التحريرية | [Pride of the North Atlantic is] an exceptional volume, noteworthy for its engaging and fact-packed style. [QE2: A Ship for All Seasons] keeps the historical record moving along . . . a first-class tome. [RMS Titanic: Owner's Workshop Manual] comes through loud and clear that the authors know ships from stem to stern. |
| عن المؤلف | Growing up on the Isle of Wight, ships and the sea have always been a huge part of David F. Hutchings' life. He has been lucky enough to turn this love of the maritime into a lifelong career, first as a shipbuilder, then as a published historian. Two of his books have been named 'Book of the Month' by Ships Monthly.Research for RMS Mauretania (1907): Queen of the Seas led to the preparation of a lecture for his local branch of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects and the Institution of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology, where it won the award for 'The Best Technical Paper of 2016'. It is his second book for The History Press |
