PHOTOGRAPHY & PHOTOGRAPHS. The name Titanic has become synonymous with catastrophe, the story of this luxurious liner legendary. Wrecked after colliding with an iceberg on her maiden voyage, the loss of around 1,500 lives among her passengers and crew has gone down in history as one of the most emotive and tragic disasters in history. In this evocative collection of photographs the authors of Titanic The ShipMagnificent tell her full story, from the shipyards of Harland Wolff and its early vessels, with the backdrop of the great race to build the biggest and best passenger liner, to the frenzy of excitement surrounding her launch. Looking at her officers and crew, as well as her stops at Cherbourg and Queenstown - including some special, rare photographs - the book follows the story to its inevitable conclusion, considering the lifeboats, the presence of the Carpathia and the aftermath of the disaster.
SHIPPING_HISTORY
As a passenger on the first two legs of Titanic's ill fated voyage, Father Francis Browne SJ's photographs are an immensely important record. As well as taking a unique set of photos, Father Browne also assembled an incredibly valuable album of Titanic material such as an original deck plan, menus, letters to him from fellow passengers, contemporary newspaper cuttings and other documents, many of which are reproduced here. Thanks to the gift of a ticket from his uncle, a young Jesuit named Francis Browne travelled on the Titanic during her maiden voyage from Southampton, to Cherbourg to Cork. Invited to remain with the ship as it crossed the Atlantic, Fr Browne was saved from possible disaster by a telegram from his Jesuit superior ordering him to "get off that ship". When the unthinkable happened and the Titanic sank, Fr Browne's photographs appeared on the front pages of newspapers all around the world. For many years the photographs of Fr Browne were forgotten until 1985 when Fr Eddie O'Donnell happened across an old tin trunk in the Jesuit archives and re-discovered 42,000 photographs, including the Titanic collection.
Photography of Frank Browne, S.J., including his photo-essay "On the day a liner sailed," and the "Titanic" album facsimiles.
As the centenary of the supposedly unsinkable White Star Line vessel's loss approaches, interest in the history of the ship, its passengers and crew, and its ill-fated maiden voyage remains intense, whilst the wreck continues its inexorable decay at the bottom of the North Atlantic. Packed full of archive photographs and newspaper clippings, this book tells the story of the ship that has held us enthralled since its sinking in 1912.
Dead men tell no tales. Dead ships, however, do. Vivid recent photographs illuminate the grandeur of the world's most storied maritime disaster ... and offers us a whole world frozen at the moment of a disaster.
Famous photographs of the Titanic, its passengers and crew, taken by Fr. Frank Browne.
