Long out of print, this book by Oliver Cooke describes the activities that took place in the Harland and Wolff shipyard as the launch of the famous SS Olympic, sister ship to the Titanic, approached.
Now reprinted in time for the 105th anniversary of the Olympic taking to the water for the first time, this book describes the rivetting of the hull, the gantries, the bulkheads, the plating and the excitement as the hulk slid into the river.
Written for children originally, this book has been a scarce commodity for adult shipping connoisseurs due to its rarity and the high prices paid for second hand copies.
