Description

These true-life adventures unfold amid flames, collisions, and explosions, with frantic calls of SOS and a rush to clamber aboard the lifeboats. Naval historian William H. Miller, Jr., recounts the dramatic stories behind a host of ill-fated passenger ships. He takes readers beyond the newspaper headlines and formal inquiries, offering firsthand accounts of heroic rescues, daring escapes, and tragic losses. Starting with the torpedoing of the "Lusitania" in 1915 and concluding in 2005 with the capsize of the "Oriana" during a Chinese typhoon, these are the world's mostill-starred vessels: the "Morro Castle, Normandie, Andrea Doria, Europa, " and many other ships whose maritime lives ended in catastrophe (the "Titanic "has" "been omitted, since that disaster has been well documented elsewhere). Nearly 200 photographs, many from private collections, highlight a compelling blend of personal anecdote and historical record."
