I'm a big ocean liner buff and these books give a glimpse in the history of these ships that other books didn't cover. lots of images I haven't seen before. I hope they come out with more. They are well written by some of the authorities in ocean liner history and research. They are well written. a perfect balance of images and text and a very interesting and informative read. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Britannic - her name served her well *by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2014* I finally got to read one good book on Britannic! This was the smallest sister in the Olympic liners. She was meant to go the same carreer course as her sisters if not for the WWI starting...Her interiors maybe just like the Olympic, until the transition to a hospital ship.I still do not understand why not erecting parts of the ship. She is in great shape still but in the wrong waters near Greece. She was as luxurious as her sisters just without the wood panels and inner features . She served the war. I think carrying soldiers on such a boat was huge task - many of them knew who she was, and the COSTs of having such ship serving the war were huge, I assume. Not so much the economical aspect - but, it's the waters - it was grenaded and mined in many areas. There was no law against warfare at seas back then, so she sailed on dangerous grounds many times. Submarines, mines, shores with war ships, and she was just too big NOT to have noticed her and perhaps because she was immune because the British Queen endorsed her as Hospital ship there was some immunity there. But for me it was such a waste to strip her of her beautiful inetriors and send her to war. However this is useless arguement. If this is why she sank, we can't change it.Anyway the ship carried thousands soldiers and war heros and did a good service that's fitting her nameBritannic was the name of one other White Star Line ship that has been on seas for many long years in fact to even retire, and the Company thought to rely on that name once again. She hasn't failed - the Queen depended on her by the people onboard, the soldiers and nurses did, and she did a great service to White Star Line because being one of the trio, she was as strong as Olympic and Titanic would have been so she restored the lost dignity to her company. Britannic was at sea in very Dangerous times as the great war hit. and she served loyal to her comapny and country. Non should forget this wonderful ship and the mission she was up to! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A hospital ship looks like a hospital ship *by E***A on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2016* If you have no other books about the Britannic and want only one, this Simon Mills volume is probably the one to have. Frankly, in terms of photographs, there is not very much of interest to show about the Britannic: a hospital ship looks like a hospital ship, and the fact that she is a very, very, VERY big hospital ship unfortunately doesn't alter that fact. A few pictures of nurses and patients and row upon row of bunks is all one needs, plus some exterior shots to show the size and lines of what should have been a glorious liner. All we have for the Britannic are some artists's sketches for the proposed interiors; nothing else exists. . .and these sketches can be found online for free. What does distinguish the book is a succinct and thorough verbal history of the ship, her service, and her sinking (including why she only stayed afloat for an hour at best).Now, if you have other books on the Britannic, I really don't think you need to add this; but, then, you might want this one and then sell the others as redundant. I don't mean to imply any fault in the present volume; it's only that there really isn't all that much that can be added visually to previous publications. On the other hand, this is a concise and well-written history of a ship that served her country well, even though she was robbed of her ultimate purpose. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5308710-the-unseen-britannic-the-ship-in-rare-illustrations-hardcover-january](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5308710-the-unseen-britannic-the-ship-in-rare-illustrations-hardcover-january) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-30*
