TITANIC The Movie Ships Richard M. JONES Kindle Edition (2025)

When we think of the Titanic most of us would cast our minds back to a scene from one of the many movies that portray the sinking of the world's most famous liner. But what we do not consider are the stories behind the real ships used in these movies. This book goes into the history of four veteran ships that were used in some of the most famous of these productions. Each of these ships have a rich, and in some cases tragic history, just as remarkable as the ship that they later portrayed on the big screen. Today only one of these leading ladies endure, the others lost to time like Titanic herself. Which American-built liner flew the British flag, until wartime peril prompted them to reconsider the stars and stripes? Which once Queen of the ocean was sold to a city in the US? Which ship saw a story of unrequited love unfold on its decks, to a heart wrenching end? Which of these classic liners’ fall from grace took three times more lives than Titanic? Now the history of the ships that starred in A Night to Remember, Raise the Titanic, SOS Titanic and the German propaganda movie Titanic are brought to light in research, and exclusive images, shared by author and historian Richard M. Jones.
