Titanic Collections Volume 2: Fragments of History (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

The second in a two-part series showcasing rare and important artifacts relating to the history of RMS Titanic.

Many collectors prefer to hide their treasures away, but the items presented in these beautiful books have been gathered by six well-known and respected researchers, authors, historians and collectors whose mission statement is to share their acquisitions with the world: George Behe; Mike Beatty; John Lamoreau; Don Lynch; Trevor Powell; and Kalman Tanito.

This book focuses on the people connected with Titanic, whether passengers or crew, including letters, postcards and marconigrams, or objects ranging from a pocket watch to binoculars or a monogrammed brush, aiming to illustrate the broader lives of these individuals and their families rather than re-telling the well-known story of the voyage and sinking. These authors seek to share the rare Titanic artifacts in their collections with like-minded researchers who otherwise might never have been aware that these items existed.
