Beautiful Ships
Lost Liners depicts the history of the trans-Atlantic passenger lines and their grand ships. Using great illustrations, the book does a good job of telling the story of these sunken vessels, leaving you feeling it was a shame they had to go down.

Titanic: An Illustrated History

45 reviews
Donald Lynch, Ken Marschall

Chartwell Books, 2005

Best book available on the Titanic
I have to agree with the previous review posted this is probably the best book ever published on the tragic Titanic. It is a beautifully illustrated history of the tragic liner from conception to her well documented demise and discovery in 1985. Ken Marshall's paintings bring the grand dame to life and also help to put into perspective the wreck as she was in 1994 when the book was first ...

this is a great book!
I've been looking for a book like this for my niece who has gotten bitten by the "disaster" bug ever since the movie "Titanic" came out. This is an excellent book for older children and young teens. The text really makes the whole Hindenburg tragedy come vividly to life. And the pictures are just "Wow!". I think Ken Marschall has done the illustrations for some other notable ...

Thunder Bay Press (CA), 2005

Great book...but seen it before...
I waited very anxiously for several months for this book to be published. I own several of Dr. Ballard's books and find them all fantastic. So when I opened this one, I was somewhat disappointed to find that this book is basically a re-packaging of one of his earlier, now out-of-print books, LOST LINERS, with the Bismarck and Guadalcanal added. Don't get me wrong...this is an absolutely ...

Chartwell Books, 2005

Outstanding!
A beautiful (nay, sumptuous) oversized book that bedazzles with both its original paintings and its endless historical illustrations and photographs; but also an excellent introduction to the history of airships, in all countries (that the book is titled "Hindenburg" is unfortunate, as the Hindenburg herself figures into only a small portion of the book). Full but not overwhelming coverage of ...

The Turning Point of World War II Revisited
In June, 1942, the Japanese and American navies clashed near a small island in the central Pacific; Midway. This battle turned out to be the turning point of the war for both sides. For the Americans, they finally managed to stop the Japanese advance, while the Japanese suffered a crushing defeat and were put on the defensive, never to regain the offensive again. One of the ships sunk in this ...

Great pictures and text
Awesome pictures! Ken Marschall did a wonderful job with the illustrations, and the photographs were nice, too. The text explained clealy what had happened to each ship, and the controversy about some of them. I really learned something from this book.

The Discovery of the Titanic

Robert D., Illustrated by Marschall, Ken Ballard

New York: Warner/Madison Press, 1987, 1987

A most outstanding book.
Dr Robert Ballard will forever remain the man who found the Titanic. In so doing, he became the world's most famous ocean explorer who found the world's most famous ship. It is not for me to inform readers of the story of the Titanic. Almost everyone grew up knowing something about that ship - even if the finer points of information they thought they knew were inaccurate. Having then ...

Madison Press Book, 1998

A very nice book
This book is very nicely put together. This not only covers the RMS Titanic but it also covers the sister ship that also had gone down as well as a good three other ghost liners. This book is a must have. Highly recommended for readers ranging from 6th - 9th grade readers.

Hyperion Books, 1998

A Titanic must-have
Ken Marschall has become the definitive artist of the Titanic, and his art has the reality of the photographs we so often lack. This book includes much of his Titanic work, including his very first painting of the great ship, and as a bonus includes some of his other liner artwork, of the Lusitania, Mauretania, Queen Mary, Normandie, and the Andrea Doria, as well as Titanic's two sisters ...

Excellent Book
This is a sensational book.I have read this one quite a bit. I love the bit where they find the boiler on the bottom of the ocean. It talks about the trials they went through trying to find the elusive Titanic.Nobody had seen that ship since it sunk in 1912. I have always loved reading about that ship,something about the whole story has fascinated me. I think the era it all happened in,as ...

Ghosts of the Abyss: A Journey Into The Heart of the Titanic

Da Capo Press, 2003

Haunting
"Ghosts of the Abyss" features a collection of the greatest Titanic Wreck images to date. Cameron has wandered into areas of the ship inquiring minds like my own have often wondered about. The contrast of the Titanic then to what she is now reveals the tragic aspects of this signifciant historical disaster. What was by far catching were several 3-D models present here and there such as the Grand ...

Lost Subs

Spencer Dunmore, Ken Marschall

Da Capo Press, 2002

Light-weight history, but gorgeous images
Lost Subs isn't heavy-duty history by anyone's standards. Skimming lightly over material covered more completely in scholarly books, Lost Subs allows its pictures to do the heavy lifting, and what a wise choice that is! Lavishly illustrated, Lost Subs covers wrecked boats of every era, and provides limited, but relevent background on each era along with discussion of the individual wrecks. ...

Hyperion Book CH, 1998

Great book for kids
When my five-year old son became obsessed with the Titanic I was a bit worried, because of the morbidity of the subject mainly -we tend to forget that about 1500 people died in this historic incident. So I was very pleased to see that there are actually books on the subject written with children in mind - and this one is very good. It's written from the view points of two young men who were ...
