Lusitania was an engineering marvel, at one time the largest, fastest and most opulent vessel in the world. When she was sunk by a German submarine on 7 May 1915, with the loss of about 1,200 lives, it sent shockwaves around the world. The iconic passenger liner immediately became a weapon in the Allied propaganda war, helping to shift American public opinion against Germany and influencing the USA's eventual entry into the First World War. Her many achievements and successes were largely forgotten. This volume tells Lusitania's story from construction to the aftermath of her sinking in remarkable contemporary postcards.

"Lost to a German torpedo on 7 May 1915, Cunard's RMS Lusitania captured the world's imagination when she entered service in 1907. Not only was she was the largest, fastest ship in the world, she was revolutionary in design. Also a record breaker, Lusitania is now sadly remembered for her tragic loss, when she was hit by a U-boat torpedo on 7 May 1915, sinking in eighteen minutes with the loss of 1,198 souls. Through never-before-seen photographs and illustrations, expert Eric Sauder brings RMS Lusitania to life once again. With vivid, unseen photographs and postcards from his extensive private collection, this absorbing read will transport the reader back 100 years to a time when opulent Ships of State were the only way to cross the Atlantic."--Wheelers.co.nz

Le 15 avril 1912, a 2h20 du matin, les eaux glacees de l'Atlantique Nord se referment sur le majestueux Titanic, fleuron flambant neuf de la compagnie White Star Line. Au nombre des plus de 1 500 personnes qui n'ont pas eu la chance de prendre place a bord d'un canot de sauvetage, figure le nom de Thomas Andrews, l'un des principaux concepteurs du paquebot. Celui qui fut le premier a comprendre que son navire etait condamne n'a pourtant pas cherche un seul instant a sauver sa vie. Au contraire, faisant preuve d'une abnegation exemplaire, il a fait tout son possible jusqu'au dernier instant pour permettre a d'autres de survivre a une catastrophe dont il se sentait en grande partie responsable. De sa naissance dans une petite ville d'Irlande a sa disparition tragique a l'age de 39 ans, cette biographie nous invite a suivre le parcours d'un homme au destin exceptionnel, lie plus que tout autre a celui du navire le plus tristement celebre de l'Histoire.

From around 1880, for almost a hundred years, shipowners commissioned a wealth of paintings that depicted their magnificent liners as well as the routes they travelled, their exotic destinations, and life onboard. These paintings, rich in imagination and atmosphere, appeared on postcards and posters of the day and were used to advertise the companies and their ships; and so was born a whole genre that produced tens of thousands of paintings which formed a wonderful record of the great era of the passenger liner. In 1900, there were over thirty shipping companies operating passenger liners across the North Atlantic. Other oceans were similarly served. But now, with just a few exceptions, the companies and their liners have disappeared along with the art they once inspired. Little remains to recall this aspect of our maritime past except the postcards; and they tell an evocative story of the vanished world of elegant ships and leisurely travel, of social and political times much changed by the history of the past century. Here, brought vividly to life in more than 500 colourful postcards, are the ships on which so many of our predecessors sailed—as emigrants, soldiers, administrators, or simply as tourists—in days long past. These cards, which are now highly collectable, show how steamships developed over the years, but they are also a fine tribute to the artists who painted them. This volume also includes a glossary of some 170 illustrators, which forms an important reference section, and advice on collecting.
